I played through 99% if the game on Deck.
Only the last bosses I had the time and space to run it on PC and control it from the Deck.
But 0 issues with anything, ran like butter, at home, travelling. Controls are excelent.
It was my first souls game and I finished it thanks to the Deck.

It is.

I think it was actually, because the game stuttered when compiling shaders on PC. Valve then precompiled all the shaders for the steam deck and delivered those via the steam client.

Yes. That’s how all games work on linux.
With Elden Ring in particular, it didn’t precompile shaders before gameplay and then when it did compile them, it wouldn’t cache them, so it would happen non-stop.
On linux they are cached by VKD3D, eliminating the stutter except when a shader is used the first time. On the deck, Valve will deliver the shaders precompiled with the game download, but this isn’t unusual. They do it for all games.

There was a code change to proton to remove stutters in ER
