I actually have an Xbox Series X but I want to be able to play games from my Deck while in bed. How is the lag and performance?

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

it IS possible to play Game Pass games on the deck, but you would need to install Windows 10/11 on it to do so. You could either wipe out SteamOS completely, or dual boot SteamOS and Windows and have the best of both worlds. Windows advantage is you are able to play any game, including those that have anti-cheat that block SteamOS. However it can be a little bit clunkier to navigate since it's not designed with a controller-first interface
