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.

Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.
It is not strictly because of the GPU drivers as I could get around that to a degree or change cards, but more that VR development tools are not well supported on Linux. I develop the Meta Quest with Unity and thus I am stuck on Windows. :-(
Don't SteamVR tools work on linux as well? Not that it'd help in your situation, where you're stuck with proprietary GPU drivers and proprietary VR tools.
