    Cool, thanks for the advice.

    So, you can basically play any PC game on the Steam Deck? And the performance depends on the game?

      I haven’t found anything personally that I want to play that I can’t play as I play a lot of indie games and singleplayer games. Proton is pretty incredible. YMMV though. If you play games that heavily rely on mouse and keyboard and twitch reflexes, or any game that has strict anti-cheat/DRM, you might have a suboptimal experience or not be able to play it at all.

      You’ll be able to play any game that can be run on Proton (Valve’s Linux compatibility layer). Technically, you can install windows on the deck and then run anything on that, but that’s not supported out of the box.

      You can look at a list here for what Steam labels as “Deck Verified” https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified

      Additionally, you can look on protondb which is similar to the above, but takes input from users and may have additional notes on compatibility: https://www.protondb.com/explore?selectedFilters=whitelisted

      Performance and battery life will depend on the game, but there’s a ton of videos and benchmarks if there’s a particular game you’re curious about.
