VR, Linux, and my Currently Unused Rift (beehaw.org)

I'm looking to getting back into VR gaming. However, with my switch to Linux, that has made things a little more complicated. I don't own a Valve Index (although I've heard that there are some issues with the Index on Linux), I own a Rift CV1. As far as I'm aware, the Oculus Rift is pretty much completely incompatible with Linux. I do also own both Beat Saber and SUPERHOT VR on the Oculus Store (poor choice of platform, I know).

So, unless there's something I've overlooked, my options are as follows:

Sell my Rift and stop playing VR games (weird option to choose but it's an option).
Sell my Rift and save up to buy a Valve Index (despite its issues)
Sell my Rift and save up to get a Quest 2 (or 3 when that comes out, although that plays into Metz's pockets).
Keep my Rift and do tiny experiments with it (again, weird choice given the title of the post, but it's an option)

Does anyone have any advice for me here?

The NReal glasses are cool-looking and would be something I'd consider getting if I had anywhere near that amount of money.
