What VR headset would you suggest someone get then? Anything by Meta is off the table for privacy reasons.

Except this is bad for customers because the price will be higher and it's going to be the first actual competitor to the Oculus Quest, and it's an open system, so it's much better for consumers, but if the price increases even more than what they probably already had to make it increase due to RAM it's going to be hard to sell well enough to justify.

multi-billion. And really we are all the ones who suffer because these products support Linux and open source.

I'm not worried for their products but the fact a billion dollar company has no leverage is not hopeful for the future of personal computing.
