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.

I sure wish I could get off Windows and onto Linux, but as a VR developer, it really is not feasible. Sucks
I run a small business, but I'm also I'm an embedded systems developer on ARM processors for my products. Our toolchain is Windows-specific. That and the Adobe suite which I also need for my business keep my primary work machine Windows.
My laptop is Linux but even that creates occasional hassles with my work flow and presentations.
Me here playing VR games on Linux: wut?
My VR runs fine on Linux, just I cannot develop it on Linux as the tools are simply not available.
At least you get Windows and not the abomination that is MacOS.
cries in iOS developer
I'd rather use macOS than windows anyday.
What are you developing for? Hololens?
Meta Quest and SteamVR.
