My main issue is that I play games that have crossplay with Xbox and my friends do not want to use Discord on Xbox, so I need a system where I can use Xbox Live even though the games themselves would run on Linux just fine...

You can use party voice chat on your phone (Xbox app) while playing the game on your Linux PC.

Most distros can even connect to your phone via Bluetooth and you can mix the audio+microphone into your PC headset.

I’ve done this before in KDE Plasma and it worked seamlessly.

That's insane that your friends won't switch to using a very convenient (frankly, better) system of communication that works best for you just because they don't want to. If Discord didn't exist on Xbox that'd be one thing, but it does and it works well.
