Just in case you are thinking this like I used to, don't go by "unplayable on steam deck" to determine what games you won't be able to play on a Linux desktop. While those games include incompatible with Linux games, they also include ones that the deck hardware can't handle at a decent framerate but otherwise play fine on Linux.
Oh I was looking at system requirements on the store page. Is that accurate?
no. you can play a crap load of "windows only" games on linux. the trick is to enable steam play in steam settings and use community versions of proton. works like a charm
