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.

Audiogridder is a recent example, remote vst kinda/sorta local. Have no idea about sample latency or how well it works from Linux pov.
There are other remote vst hosts/“virtual rack” as well as pro audio Linux distros that are focused on lower latency than windows.
It’s worth noting that … for a while?
There were rackable VST hosts running Linux & wine, the muse receptor.
The kinda fell by the wayside as large core count chips made them extra but for a moment they were a thing.
It was a cool concept, strap virtual instruments and treat it them as a hw unit. But that’s before 8 core / 16 thread consumer laptops became a thing, back when 8 cores were dual quad core chips…
