With QNX you get a RTOS. You get a higher level of reliability, dependability than with multitasking. You don't get that sort of reliability with some pre-packaged Linux distribution. You need to do some nontrivial kernel hacking to make Linux into a RTOS.

Why did Blackberry buy QNX?

I've got nothing against QNX, but I don't think RTOS is what a "modern linux desktop" is about.
