Yes. The Xodus team has built a working Xbox login that confirms licenses for games you own or have access to via Game Pass and provides the option to install them on Linux and Mac. It treats owned games and Game Pass-available games by checking their licenses and allowing installation, though actually running those games will still require Wine, DXVK, or VKD3D-Proton and older UWP titles will not be supported.

Xodus will not provide native ports; existing games will still need to run via compatibility layers such as Wine, DXVK, or VKD3D-Proton. The team is reverse-engineering the newer GDK and MSIXVC format, and older UWP-era games will not be supported. Answered

The builder used Linux with a udev rule to detect when an SSD is connected, which triggers a systemd daemon that locates and executes a launch script. That launch script is what automatically navigates Steam to the game page and can optionally auto-launch the game. Answered

Yes. The article says Jibril-sama thinks the setup should be replicable on Windows, but Windows would lack the Linux mechanisms that enable seamless auto-navigation and auto-launch. Specifically, the Linux udev rule and systemd daemon that detect a connected SSD and trigger the launch script are the features enabling that automation, and those exact facilities would not be available on Windows.
