It may sound a little bit dumb but yeah, when I turn up the volume of my computer the sound is stronger, louder, but the same happens if I turn up the gain, so what’s the difference?

Gain is the signal level into the amp circuit and volume is the output of the amp circuit. Gain doesn’t technically control the loudness.
Gain is usually at line level whereas volume is at speaker level.
For the average user, this distinction isn’t very useful or even meaningful, but in a production environment it matters that you have your signal gain set up well as it determines what happens with that signal going into the amp (or any other downstream components).
