Hopefully, someone is sitting on a root workaround, and will reveal it once the updates stop.
I'd buy a second hand one, if there was a way to use it without any meta involvement.
I'm expecting it, tbh
I have a quest 2 and it's actually a FANTASTIC headset, but I want to rip the meta shit out
Not even because they're a gross company (tho they are), I use a burner account with burner info and play in a gray room through a router specifically for my VR (almost completely lag free wireless this way, it works) but because I HATE that they made you have arms in an update and didn't let us turn it off. They're horrid

"oh, do you need me to just invent the fundamental technology for a massive sector of computing again? Sure, no problem, have it to ya by Friday"

I wish they gave me a firearm
But no, it's a garbage implementation of giving you a digital avatar that displays arms in a first person view by guessing where they must be based off of controller position.
It clearly doesn't use the cams on the device cuz they're bad
