I have a Steam Deck, and I love it. It can handle 90% of my library, and it’s always improving.

I decided to try out a linux distro for my OS, because the biggest drawback has always been the hoops that I had to jump through to get games up and running. I went for Pop OS, since that seemed to be natively friendly with NVidia, and the lowest barrier for entry. However, in Steam, I see that there is a much more limited selection of games compatible with my system. Is there a way around that, to get the same selection as my Steam Deck? Or is it this way because the Steam Deck is a singular platform that is developed for based on specific architecture?

    Did you turn on steamplay/proton on in the settings? Including the toggle to use it for all titels?

    Of course does not mean all games are playable, but they at least should so up in your library to try.

    You can test a windows game and especially single player games most just work. If you have some problems you can check it on protondb.com. Maybe someone already found a simple solution.
