About two years ago, Microsoft axed the entire MR devteam, and a few months back announced they will remove MR entirely in a future update to Windows.

I once had a Samsung Odyssey (not the +), and while the Quest 2 has a better screen resolution and much better controller tracking (and the 3 improves on both again), the Samsung's OLED displays have way better contrast ratios, which makes it much better when running games that have dark scenes.

If you package it, they will come

A lot of people use Quest standalone, but the PC VR experience is much, much better if it can be setup right. Eliminating the major issues that hold it back from working would make a big difference.

That and a whole smorgasboard of Windows MR headsets will be useless bargain bin items soon, as Microsoft is pulling support for those headsets entirely, and I know the linux community has added support for Windows MR in Linux. They're not bad headsets, and being super cheap would let a lot of people try out VR, even if the experience is a bit behind compared to the modern headsets (Index, Quest 3, etc.)

Get VR working without having to compile from source and it will be

Classy, rockin' the Retro Encabulator. Hoping to upgrade to the Turbo some time in the future?

So, will it be ready in time to help nuke a giant killer asteroid on the way to Earth?

Latitude is my rec, not XPS. IDK why the XPS always seems to have issues.

As for "stupid hybrid graphics", my HP Gaming 15 is a few years old now and still kicking... AMD/nVidia GTX dual graphics. Only reason I had to replace a board was because the heatsink wasn't attached properly from the factory.

And yes, it is a linux laptop too.

Insert snarky comment about needing WinRAR

Signal's a given, WhatsApp is a bit of a surprise

DELL Latitude laptops. They're designed for work, come with repair guides from DELL, and have upgradeability. The 5310 is one of the longest-lasting laptops for battery life you can get for $200-300 on ebay (over 8 hours battery video streaming, I've done this) that still has half decent specs (16-64GB RAM upgradeable, upgradeable m.2 wifi / bt adapter, NVMe SSD upgradeable, i5 10th gen)

Runs fine on Debian Stable

This, but a VW Passat. Easier to just take the whole front end off to do a bulb change.

...and yet, everyone seems to recommend lenovo for linux laptops. Why??

Honestly this was an easy one - it took a few rolls to get a "good" image
