For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.
Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I’ve fixed my mistake.

I’ve been considering this too. I don’t have much time at all to game but feel like maybe I’d do better with a portable than can stream to a TV.
I need to search up if they support all games or just those that have been ported. Surely it’s more than what has been ported to Linux…
But my mouse and keyboard, hmm

Protondb is a hugely useful site (okay, maybe not that huge but it’s great)! There’s WineHQ for Wine but it’s kinda… a little creaky, if you know what I mean. Doesn’t seem to get much attention.
Protondb, on the other paw, has lots of useful info from a quick-and-simple “how likely is it to work?” indicator to “Here’s what I had to do to make it flawless” reports from users. VERY useful! wiggles emphatically! (also it splits reports between PC and Deck)
Oh, also GloriousEggroll’s Proton fork is kinda great, for critters who like to faff about with stuff as I do: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom Dunno if that’s of any use on Deck though.
That’s what the “verified for deck” is for in steam. In my experience every game works that fulfills these criteria:
A. Is not one of a few competitive multiplayer games that have decided to not allow Linux players to play. Among these are Destiny 2 and PUBG for example.
B. Does not require mouse and keyboard (and even then the touchpads and steam input sometimes makes it work anyways)
C. Is not VR (for obvious reasons)
If you are unsure you can also check protondb which someone else linked.
I guess that shows how long it’s been since I opened steam because I’d not stumbled across that tag. Thanks bud
