Last year around April I started dual booting pop OS (24.04 alpha 7 with cosmic DE) just to see how it is, and it became my daily driver. So far it plays all games I want to play (granted, I don't play "online" multiplayer games) and I only keep windows around for access to the Xbox accessories app to calibrate controllers. Ended up installing it on a shared laptop once it hit beta, and now that it's actually just released, it'll probably become the daily driver for my wife's work computer. I've had no issues with Nvidia GPUs, for what it's worth
Have you tried running the Xbox accessories app under Wine?
I believe it's only installable from the Microsoft app store, which relies on windows dependencies not available in wine. It is not a .exe file.
I have tried running windows 10 in a virtual machine and accessing it through that... It does work, but it's very clunky.
You might find this useful then!
