(I'm French) I've never heard "La Linux". It is masculine as are
'ordinateur' (computer) and 'syst�me d'exploitation' (OS).
If someone says "la Linux", I would think for example of a car
('voiture', feminine) whose brand is Linux, or the soap for
washing-machine ("la lessive") called Linux (I've heard there is one).
