I tried it in a dual boot configuration for a month or so to try and get Gamepass stuff running locally instead of through Cloud Gaming. While it's great that it's an option for some people, it's definitely not preferable.It wasn't a great experience and Gamepass installs were just as buggy as was the last time I tried it. I ended up reverting mine completely back to SteamOS and am using Moonlight/Sunshine to connect to my windows rig as needed. It's been a great experience to play in the house when my wife is watching something else on TV. I've even pushed it over the internet (with a little lag) using Tailscale.
