Comment on New to Steam Deck and PC gaming, I'm looking for game recommendations...
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 7 months agoOne more thing I’d recommend is to set up some emulators or other non-steam games. That way you’ll always have something to play, even if you do run into some Internet related issues.
Emulators are great for this, emudeck and other emulator programs make it very easy to set up, and many emulated titles are both battery friendly and don’t take much room compared to modern games.

Is there somewhere I can find more info on them? Like I said, I’m coming from console and mobile. I’ve never messed with a pc in a gaming sense.

This is the one I use, you’ll need to go to the website in desktop mode, download the .desktop file, copy it to the desktop, and run it. Then just follow the instructions.
You can choose what emulators to install. You’ll need to acquire game roms elsewhere online, and then put them in the appropriate game system folder. A few of the more modern emulators will require bios files or things like that to work.
It takes a little setting up, but once you’re done the games will show up in your steam library looking like native games.
