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.

Yeah, pretty much what I thought, thanks
And yeah, for non Oculus exclusives I plan on using ALVR, I've tried it before but not in nearly two years, I hear it's gotten much better now though, And I even saw something claiming that sidequest wasn't even required anymore as of recently.
I recommend getting Virtual Desktop. While ALVR, AirLink or SteamLink can do the same thing for free, it's so comfortable to use and even improves the visuals. Well worth it IMO.
I have virtual Desktop, have had for several years, but last I checked it was Windows exclusive and, much like Oculus software, relies on things that don't work outside of Windows
