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.

That was a huge rant, i also don't like the microsoft authenticator so guess what i don't use it, and the issue of your private keys to getting stolen if your pc is hacked has long been solved with password protected keys.
All of these issues pretty much amount to nothing, the standard works and is more secure then passwords, same reason as to why enabling password login on SSH is not recommended.
