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.

Very true. There are obviously some community projects, but no doubt, official software would be better. Or even better, if they would make it easy for the community to develop those tools.
I contacted every company that makes their software for windows and macos for my keyboards and other peripherals asking them to port it to Linux.
