Thanks! I've been wanting a Linux machine for ages, so I'm happy to hear that. Just a shame that Linux doesn't support Oculus Rift! haha. Now because of your fast replies I can get on with buying my exciting new laptop! woohoo!

IF you bought an oculus and really want to use it, there's always the option of either dual booting, or the option of running a linux distro in virtualbox.

Altough untested by me, there even is the option of running windows subsystem for linux on windows 10:

Arch linux even has a wiki page devoted to running an oculus V9 => https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oculus_Rift

Altough for simplicity and compatibility reasons, i'd suggest either debian or ubuntu as a starter distro
