You can run them alternative ways usually. Fortnite works with mouse and keyboard through gamepass, although gamepass is a shit deal just for fortnite.

I know a lot of people dual boot or use a virtual machine with windows on it too.

    Only local streaming from an Xbox. Streaming from their website requires a controller and I've never been able to get a controller to work with a browser on Linux. Well, on Bazzite at least.

    I use a Microsoft Xbox One controller I use to play game pass games on Edge. I use Debian, but it was recognized and worked when I paired it in Bluetooth

    I tried Floorp and Ungoogled Chromium, and I could only get them to detect my controller if I plugged it in while on the page. If I already had it plugged in, it just wouldn't work. Tried some online HID testers and determined it wasn't specific to the website. IDK.

    Ive literally done it, but thats not to say it might not work all the time or under all configurations. I was using I think librefox.

    Done what? Used mouse+keyboard for streaming without a console at xbox.com/play? If so, I dunno what to say, I tried on both Windows and Linux under two Firefox browsers on Windows and Firefox and Chromium on Linux. Booting any game presents me with a console UI and doesn't respond to any keyboard input.
