From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

also the lack of good VR support - it's a super hacky mess to get it working right
I think vr is on it's way out anyways
It's alive and kicking on standalone android thanks to Quest, but soon more android headsets that aren't from meta are about to come out. Being able to PC VR with these is always a preference.
