@nanoUFO I feel like I’m the only Xbox owner that doesn’t do Game Pass, and it’s because I can play games when I want and at my own pace when I buy them. I don’t like wanting to play a certain game, but having to play something different because it’s leaving the service in a few days.

Game Pass doesn't prevent you from buying any game you like. In fact, if you have Game Pass and want to purchase a title in the catalog there is a discount. Doesn't matter if it leaves Game Pass, you would still have the game if you purchased it.

I'm on linux I couldn't use it if I wanted to. I like having some level of ownership so it's a no go for me.

Eh, I might subscribe for a month or two every so often if it worked on Linux. It doesn't, so I don't.

Think of it as a demo service.
