Can I Dual Boot Linux and Windows on the Same SSD and Use Game Pass?

Asked By TechWhiz93 On

I'm planning to switch to Linux Fedora with Plasma KDE because I think it offers more customization options compared to Linux Mint with GNOME. However, I'm facing a dilemma regarding my subscription to Game Pass Ultimate, which I paid for a year and have 5 months left. Do I have to keep Windows 11 until my subscription runs out? I play PVP games, but the cloud streaming has some lag, making it less enjoyable. Additionally, I'm curious if anyone is able to play Game Pass games on Linux through any special applications, like Call of Duty, Forza, or Flight Simulator. I know I'm new to this, but I'm eager to dive into the Linux world!

Game Pass games generally won't work natively on Linux, so if you want to play them, you’ll need to keep using Windows. After your subscription is done, you'll have to look for the games on platforms like Steam or Epic if they are available for Linux. Also, keep in mind that PVP games might have anti-cheat systems that won't work well on Linux, so check each game on ProtonDB or Are We Anti-Cheat Yet to see their compatibility. It seems like you'll have to either stick with Windows for the time being or buy the games elsewhere when you're ready to fully switch to Linux.

You're right that Plasma KDE has a lot more customization options compared to Linux Mint with GNOME. However, as you get more comfortable with Linux, the simplicity of GNOME might appeal to you more over time. Just keep that in mind!

Honestly, dual booting Windows and Linux on the same SSD can be risky. There's a chance that Windows might overwrite the Linux bootloader or mess up the partitions, making it unbootable. If you can, consider getting a second SSD for a safer dual boot experience. You can still dual boot on one SSD, but it requires extra steps to avoid issues.
