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.

Yes, and Desktop Linux won't ever be as big as Windows, so long as almost all pc's sold ship with Windows or macOS.
But I feel like the excuses get less and less. Besides mixed DPI, HDR and VR I don't think there's much missing. Obviously there'll always be apps that only run on Windows or Linux, but that's fine.
But you're right. In a few years there'll be a new feature not (yet) supported on Linux. Let's see how long it takes for FSR3 to work on Linux.
