Looks like Monado is our only hope. Pathetic support from Microsoft but hopefully it will be fully supported in Linux in the next few years.
I might try one second hand if they’re cheap. Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?
… I’d replace the padding on any used device, though, that is a little gross now that I consider it.

If you’re just talking about WMR devices (and not VR in general), then no, they don’t require an account. The Reverb G2 is the most supported by Monado (and has the best hardware), but I’d try to get the V2 revision. And the cable is a common failure point, so could be an issue with a used purchase.
Not that I have one, or will ever update to W11, but like why?
They didn’t sell well, so no point maintaining the code when things break due to changes.
That’s worse than just not maintaining code. They could stop maintaining it, but keep the current version active. Instead, they remove it entirely, and now a physical object that was purchased becomes ewaste.
Into the eWaste furnaces! The furnaces cry out for more eWaste!
Aand that’s why i’m not an early adopter. Especially not of products from big IT.
Damn did I invest in the wrong horse.
Depends, did you invest in stock or products.
If stock you are probably fine, Microsoft is very good at making money.
If products, you are one of the people they make money on. And they couldn’t care less if you lose out.
