Game pass on Linux? (lemm.ee)

Obviously this is a long shot but is there any way to get game pass working on Linux? I realise most of the games can be played through steam but it is a good way to try out new games cheaply

Yeah that's the issue, I don't want to at any point be running Windows as the main operating system. My laptop is dual booted as I need windows for work sometimes but otherwise I'd like to keep windows as minimal as possible

Dual booting obviously has the best performance because you're just running the os bare metal the same way you would of it was installed normally, but I just really don't want to have windows running bare metal

There is apparently a way to virtualize some Nvidia GPUs so that's probably the route I'll end up taking

Even with single gpu pass through by "main" I meant you just won't be able to use Linux until you close it, it will still be in a container and can't fuck up anything (unless you give it access to).
