It wasn’t long ago that Linux gaming was considered fairly niche—but given that Windows 11 is unpopular with many, it seems that not a day goes by without something regarding the switch to Linux hitting my newsfeed. Not to mention the continuing updates to Valve’s Arch-based SteamOS.

Now my attention has been drawn to the Xodus Nexus, an experimental open-source project that aims to allow Linux and SteamOS users to access PC Game Pass. This includes the ability to browse, install, and launch games via a very familiar interface, complete with cloud save support.
