Check your favorite games on this website that tells how well it runs on Steams on Linux, you may have surprises. https://www.protondb.com/
Honestly, you probably donât even need to check them. If theyâre Steam Deck Verified, theyâll probably just work. If theyâre Steam Deck Playable, theyâll probably just work (most common issues are controls or small text, neither is an issue on desktop/laptop).
You honestly only need to check protondb if you have an issue, or maybe if youâre buying a game thatâs âUnsupportedâ or something. 9/10 times, just clicking Play will work fine if itâs a single player game.
You mean deck verified shows on the Steam shop so you donât have to check on protondb? I donât use the deck so I didnât follow this much.
Yes, Deck Verified on Steam means Valve has verified that it works on the Deck. If it works on the Deck, itâll work on Linux, because the Deck runs Linux and itâs basically the same software stack.
Protondb is a community project where people submit reports about what works and what doesnât. Itâs a good resource, but only really needed if something isnât working right out of the box.
