They do lock you to Windows to use GamePass, but as long as the games are available on other marketplaces they'll be playable on Linux. The Xbox app, which is what you have to use for GamePass for some stupid reason, installs games in a special encrypted format that can't (easily) be executed from outside of it.

So that’s why I never got into gamepass!

I knew there had to be a reason, couldn’t be that I’m just lazy.
