I don't suppose you would have any good tutorials / resources for quest 2 development with unity. I've had a brief go recently but as someone who's never used unity before I found myself floundering a bit.
I've also found the unity editor to be pretty unstable on Linux so if you happen to have any tips there I'd be all ears

I just went through some tutorials a couple of months ago and had some good luck with this series by Valem on Youtube[1]. It's from 2020 and a bit outdated in a couple parts (like I think the input system changed in more recent Unity versions, but you can select the old version, it just has different names, and also I think some of the links for the controller assets were broken somehow, but I was able to download a package that had them I think), so read the comments near the top, which show timestamps and where things might be different now, but overall I was able to get things working fine in my Quest 2 device.
I was also looking for books, and the Unity 2020 Virtual Reality Projects Book[2] looks promising, and I just got a used copy (still being sent to me). Again since it's from 2020 there might be a couple things out of date, but it looks like it could be worth it.
I use Unity in Windows so I can't help on the Linux front.
Good luck! You can ping me if you get stuck somewhere, I might have had the same issue and might be able to help you get unstuck.

I just want them to be done programming FPS games, employ all artist graduates, and have them design textures and models for an open source FPS game.
I'm terrible at making games but working on them brings back the joy I had when I first learned to program. The feedback loop between code and something interesting on the screen is quick and refreshing. Lately I even managed to make a basic VR game with my Quest2.
