Yes, you can use python on Linux. Most of the Linux distros come with python pre-installed. To check if python is installed, open the terminal and run the following command
 

python --version


This will print the version of Python installed (if it is installed)

To install python on your Linux system, you can run the following command.

To Install python version 2:

sudo apt-get install python2.x


To install python version 3:
 

sudo apt-get install python 3.x

Where "x" is to be replaced with the version number.

If you have python already installed on your machine you can simply check the version by 

python --version

Now if you don't have python installed then

1. for ubuntu you can install it using 

sudo apt-get install python

2. for red hat you can install it using

sudo yum install python

3. for SUSE and derivatives you can install it using 

sudo zypper install python

Quick Answer.

Yes.

By default most of the Linux/Unix based hosts will be having Python. If not python (refer to python2.x), it will be there python3.x.

In linux, you can type: python<tab><tab>  # type python and press <tab> key twice to see the commands installed in your computer.

also you can use "--version" argument after the python binary.

Example:

python --version
Python 2.7.15

python3 --version
Python 3.7.0
