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.

Usbip, I'm learning how to build a Python GUI by making one for usbip bind and usbip attach.
What do you use USB/IP for?
My laptop, desktop pc, and VMs are running Linux. All of them (except the laptop) are remotely accessible over the local network via Moonlight game stream using Sunshine as the hosting software.
I use USB/IP to send things like a Dualsense controller, or USB headset over the network, as well as my yubikey if I need to log into something with FIDO2 authentication remotely. (I haven't tested my yubikey over usb/ip yet but I will eventually) I've also managed to use my racing wheel this way but if it lags it hurts the game badly.
Webcam / headset / USB storage devices / game controllers work just fine so far.
