I dunno but I tried that and it didn’t work at all. Had to go searching around online for how to even install a damn game.
Just for shits and giggles I fired up a VM and did a clean Steam installation from Flathub. This is the default:
Steam Play (=Proton) is on for supported Windows games. For unsupported games it’s off.

Installing games is same as Windows, download and launch via Steam. As for lack of FPS, willing to bet you had an Nvidia card but didn't install the drivers for it.

So it sounds a lot like you’ve never actually done this before because that’s factually incorrect.
Wrong again.

You click the game on Steam, click "install". That's the same on Windows or Linux, the client doesn't change.
Going from 144fps to 2fps sounds like a graphics driver issue, what was the problem then?

Incorrect again.
I don’t know. The “that’s the story of the time I tried to play games on Linux” indicates that I, and most every other user, doesn’t care enough to spend all day burrowing through search engines and support threads to figure out how to just make the thing work.
That’s why the Steam Deck, and SteamOS, exists.

As a long time openSUSE user I know for a fact that you’re wrong.

And as someone who has actually used Steam on Linux, I know that you’re wrong .
