Supercomputer hints moon was created in hours, not days: Report
I use Oculess, it blocks all telemetry and disables all of the Facebook stuff. Mostly I just don't turn on the Wifi so it remains offline anyways.

The Uphill Battle to the Vineyard of VR - The Forces of Facebook on the Arch Trail (help)
As for spyware, I sideloaded "Oculess" ( https://github.com/basti564/Oculess ) on the Quest, it disables telemetry and the need for an account. If you don't have it already, I highly recommend it! :p

Meta removes Facebook account mandate from Quest VR—but is that enough?
If you already have an Oculus set up using Facebook you can use Oculess to remove telemetry and the Facebook account entirely.

VR with linux in 2022
I would use a temporary email to register to Facebook and then use Oculess to remove telemetry and account

Facebook blames Apple after a historically bad quarter, saying iPhone privacy changes will cost it $10 billion
But I made an alternate account to log in, sideloaded Oculess and removed the FB telemetry, and added all the domains I could find to my pihole blacklist to keep it from phoning home. Maybe that’s paranoid overkill but I feel a lot better using it as a wireless PCVR set this way.

I want to switch to linux, but I have some questions
What headset do you have? VR works great when it works, but the protocols on Linux don't play well with all headsets. If you have a Vive, Vive Pro, or Index, it should work well with SteamVR. Otherwise, you'll have to dig around and test yourself using something like OpenHMD or more likely Monado, which both have limited device support. In my search, I came across this page, which might help you out.

Linux genuinely gives me less issues than Windows
As a rare VR on Linux user, SteamVR for Linux is in a sad state and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not extremely dedicated. The fact that it exists at all is a step up from other vendors but man is it a bad experience right now. Worse than it's been since the earliest days IMO

Hey, I'm making a collection of typical Linux VR problems. If you play VR on Linux too, please send me problems with solutions you had back when you started. I will write them down to make life easier for everyone. If you have no problems for me, you could read it and give me feedback, thanks. :)
Multiple sources suggest this python script for power management: https://github.com/risa2000/lhctrl
Yep, there's a list of native/supported games here and a list of games that work with Proton unofficially here
