Excuse my French but fuck Apple and fuck their closed ecosystem. I will never buy any of their products.

If some company releases an alternative working on different OSes and based on open standards I will be all in, but I refuse to make a multi trillion company richer.

Good to know. Thank you for sharing.

So you want a product made by some of the world's most talented engineers and designers, costing untold millions for dollars in R&D, but it should not be made by a corporation? How does that work?

I want a product that I don't need to use exclusively with MacOS and the moment I want to switch to Linux or Windows to become a paper weight.

Apple is notorious for not porting their products to other platforms, and using closed standards.

If you are okay with that I am not!

It's Vision OS, not MacOS. You can already install Linux on a Mac, as well as any ARM compatible OS through virtualization:

"Apple allows booting unsigned/custom kernels on Apple Silicon Macs without a jailbreak! This isn’t a hack or an omission, but an actual feature that Apple built into these devices"

What do you think would happen if you tried to install Linux or Windows on a Vision Pro? Assuming Apple was to open up the device, what would that look like?
