I want to switch to Linux from Windows, but I'd like to keep using my Quest for VR and I have an Nvidia GPU. What Distro should I use?

I wanted to ask a community of people that know a lot more about Linux than I do about what distro I should try, or if I should even switch to Linux at all considering that Meta doesn't have anything for use in the Linux world.
I'm planning to get a Radeon GPU somewhat soon, if that helps with anything.

If you want to run PC VR, don't use Linux.

Could always dual boot. When I give Linux another go I'll have to dual boot for VR peripherals.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Well, you'll have it tough. Idk what distro you should use but you for sure want to avoid anything that uses Wayland if you want even a chance of getting the VR to be somewhat usable.

You could always run a Windows VM, or like others suggested, dual-boot.
