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.

If you're used to Excel or have some specific games that are not covered with Wine it could be a good reason.
VR specifically is kind of a nightmare with older headsets. Kinda hoping Valve will do something there too.
Most of my VR games don't seem to track my head movement ;(, but Half Life: Alyx somehow works perfectly fine.
There are still VR headsets that are supported on Linux and there is a community page with a list of games and headsets supported.
It's not great, but it's getting better.
oh, definitely, it‘s just not quite at the same level of windows. But I’m exited for the near future where it very well may be!
