... because I have a Samsung Odyssey+ VR headsets, which needs "Windows Mixed Reality" (Windows VR) and was gutted/removed from Windows 11 (and doesn't work on Linux).

I have mixed feelings about this.
On one hand, I agree with the technical merits. Having an automated process to renew short lived tls certs is "a good thing" and I think services like Let's Encrypt have demonstrated such automation is viable (at large scale).
But, there are reasons why people pay money for tls Certs rather than use free (short lived) Certs. For example, there's a mom-and-pop webhosting company that allows you to upload your tls Certs (they cost < $25 / year) or you can pay them $95 / year to use their Certs (and they just use Let's Encrypt - lol)
The nearly 4x markup is their "convenience fee" or "dumb tax". Regardless, once the 45 day tls Certs are enforced, I'll have no choice in either paying their 4x markup or migrating to another platform.
... Having a choice is not always a bad thing...
Well, unless this is an offer to buy me a replacement Quest or Pico (all of which, work on Linux) "yes, I'm going to stay with Windows 10" (and/or maybe dual boot).
