I’ve been blown away by being able to finally, at long last, game on my linux machine. Between emulators and Steam’s Proton, I’m rarely if every needing to boot into W$ just for games. That said,while I can play the gamepass web streaming thing, I don’t know if there is a way to use gamepass locally with Proton. Is that possible?

    Dang. Thanks! I’m assuming for eg Steamdeck folks are installing windows for game pass?

      Yep, for steamdeck your options are to install windows or to stream. Greenlight is a good linux application that handles the streaming better than the website imo. It can also do remote play if you have an Xbox, which generally has much lower input latency.

      Some might be using the cloud based game pass, although I haven’t tried it myself.

        Yeah that works pretty well; but doesn’t solve the issue of needing/preferring a local install.

          For sure. I can tell you it’s a very long way off, if ever, unless Microsoft step in and port it themselves.
