Linux is a kernel, not a full operating system. Perhaps you mean Linux
distributions?

Please capitalize abbrevations correctly (TPM2, not tpm2). Please write
'Python 2' instead of python2.

With that said the commit message is inaccurate. The root reason for
moving to Python 3 is that Python 2 is no longer supported by the Python
upstream project. Nothing to do with Linux or Linux distributions for
that matter.
