- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It depends on what you're asking.
If you're talking about playing natively games on the Game Pass, you can't as of right now there's no Xbox app to download and launch them on Linux.
Otherwise, if you meant streaming games from the cloud through Game Pass, then the answer is "it depends from your connection", but i am quite satisfied with the experience so far. I'm on a 1Gpbs optical fiber, games run well, i get some-to-zero graphic artifacts and even though you can feel some baseline lag, for most games it's fine and you'll get used to it in a minute or two.
Is there no way to get game pass running on the deck? I installed some emulators, and a friend of mine installed Diablo 4. I just assumed someone figured out how to get game pass working.
Not as far as i know, the Xbox app to start games through Game pass is available only on the Microsoft Store and there's no way to get that up and running using Lutris or another kind of virtualization layer
Oh copy that. That actually makes sense, thanks for the info
