If only Linux had an official Xbox and Game Pass app so that I could play my Xbox games on it natively without having to stream it from a webpage :(

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, I'm really hoping this is just going to be an additional option for those who want a lightweight ChromeOS style experience. Forcing everyone to a streaming OS is not going to go well.
As someone who is working as an Azure and M365 admin for a living... yeah, nah, Microsoft. Nah.
I am glad I already made the jump to Linux at home, and frankly, I think Microsoft would be a fool if they pulled through with this.
I bet they'd revert the decision of making Windows cloud-only within a year.
On other hand, I kind of want Microsoft and Apple to force it through, charge $60/mo and lose all of their users within a few days and see Linux population exploded. Ah one can dream...
Why would Apple follow? They sell hardware, they want you to buy the physical device. If anything Apple has been pushing on-device compute more than anyone else these few years.
