Yeah, I was about to say that I'd buy the shit out of that headset, but after valve fixes VR on linux.
I had it not to great, but it usable after I switched to linux couple years ago on gtx1070, but since switching to AMD card I didn't manage to get it working. No Wayland support also sucks, I don't want to swap to X every time I want to run VR :(
Seems like your info is a bit out of date. VR works on wayland, and while steamvr is still pretty much crap, monado/wivrn work very well. You can check out https://lvra.gitlab.io/ for more info
On AMD cards SteamVR is actually working fine on Linux (Fedora42, KDE on Wayland). It is a bit annoying that you can't control the lighthouse units via bluetooth, but presumably a new headset wouldn't use these anymore.
Oh, nice. I did check it out some time ago, maybe it's time to undust the old headset and try again.
