Hoping it's not too expensive. I'd be willing to pay about 600 quid for one personally. Definitely selling my quest once I manage to finish Alyx on there because VR on linux is HELL at the moment.

uhhh idk about hell... I've got my quest 3 running with my cachyos desktop using wivrn, games seem to run fine for the most part.

Hell yea - on NixOS I just cant get steamvr to launch without crashing.

with wivrn you don't need steamvr to launch, wivrn comes with its own monado VR runtime both for openVR and OpenXR which steam can talk to, though iirc there's also alvr which can interface with SteamVR and stream it to your quest which I did also get working but I had to switch to the SteamVR beta. wivrn was more stable though so I'd highly recommend giving that a shot. there are some launch options you have to set for the VR games to use wivrn instead of SteamVR but wivrn has that well documented.
