    do you mean the socket type of the processor or do you mean sockets used by the OS for communication?

    the model of the processor determines the socket it is installed in, but some sockets have more than 1 processor designed for them

    I'm not sure I really understand your original question, are you asking if the socket is different in linux?

    sockets when speaking in terms of the OS are not related to the processor

    You can check the following charts for which sockets hold what processors:
