Game pass not worth supporting shitty behavior over.

Gamepass was made to have you in the ecosystem so you really can’t, and I don’t blame you since it helps with these expensive games like the new Doom

Out of curiosity what even does someone use that app for. Iv always just turned it on on my windows installs. It always just breaks and caused me issues. Or performed worse then just other apps for the same job.

I play XBox games on my computer. My computer is more than 10x faster then my XBox so games often play way better.

Or pretty much almost any game or driver issues.
I like Linux but these video game developers dont support their game properly for Linux.

But isnt this like asking “Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch”?
Windows has it’s own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it’s own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.
To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn’t move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android’s .apk, right?
I’m not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you’re free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all 😁

I dual boot at this point. I have a POP_OS! nvme where I do normal pc stuff and maybe some light single player gaming, then I boot into my windows ssd for the heavier anticheat stuff. Imma be completely honest though. For most people I recommend just upgrading to windows 11 if you can. Linux is great but I think if someone just cares about gaming they should stick to windows.

My gaming computer under my TV is windows 10. My laptop where I do adult things is Linux mint. It’s a valid strategy

Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I’m Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

I wish I could be linux exclusive. But my friends and I play games that wont work properly under it. Recently we’ve been really into halo infinite but that game just doesnt work well under linux. I do plan on building an all amd system this fall so thatll be a big help towards fully jumping to linux for me but for now dual booting is my strategy. Im sure ill make someone mad with how I go about things but its what works for me.

Bad take.
First, bad analogy because on windows pc, Xbox runs smoothly while on PS5, Nintendo services were never allowed.
Second, Linux is for him because the more people that switch to Linux and use it over corpo spyware OSs the better.

You are the worst kind of commenter and I wish for you to feel self hatred born of incompetence.
