Well unless MS is gonna start offering Gamepass on Steam, Gamepass games will continue to be locked behind Windows Store which has no Native linux support afaik. So at the current state, you would have to install Windows onto the Steam Deck for it to be a gamepass machine and of course, get rid of the suspend and resume functionality entirely.

Well that's a massive bummer. I have so many games on Gamepass to play, and they keep adding more than I have time to play, that I don't have to hardly buy non-Nintendo games these days, and I've grown quite addicted to the suspend feature on my Switch, so if I can't do that with Gamepass games then I probably won't get this since I will be picking it up and putting it down randomly and frequently.

Sounds neat and compact. Performance seems ok as far as the video could show. I wonder how long such a tight design will last before exploding. :P

Apparently, it's one month away now:
