The mode makes the app fit better on devices like the ROG Ally.

That's MS being shitty, but hopefully they'll change their tune soon. One of the artificial restrictions is needing to have the games installed on an NTFS file system. I actually formatted my ROG's SD card with NTFS so I could install my MS games to it.

Made me sad, because doing that makes me have to commit entirely to keeping it Windows. Otherwise I would have probably dual-booted ChimaeraOS or something.

If you want to dual boot you should be able to mount the NTFS partition in Linux and run games off it using Lutris/Proton
