  If GOG is your main platform, have you tried Heroic launcher? You can log in to your GOG account with it and it will keep track of your library and can be set up to auto-update like Steam if you wish, and you can set it up to run everything through Proton and has a bunch of workarounds built-in.

  I personally had a lot of issues with Lutris, so I gave up on it some time ago, even though people seem to swear by it.

  Compared to the last time I tried gaming on Linux (maybe a decade ago), it’s incredibly good

  I’ve been blown away by the difference. Gaming would have been the only thing holding me back from switching to Linux full-time, and the only games that I know for sure won’t work are games that I have no interest in playing anyway.

  How often does that happen, out of curiosity?

  I don’t think there’s a single game on my Steam and GOG libraries that I haven’t been able to run easily, with at most a little tweaking, but I know that it’s not the case for everything and everyone. I see a lot of reports on protondb of some people not being able to run some games at all when others have no issues.

  Not OP, but that’s one part of it. You can turn down graphics, and games will still look fine on the small screen, but some games just need some extra power.

  I haven’t played RDR2 but something like Returnal runs okayish on the Deck, but runs great on my PC. If I want good framerates on the Deck, I need to turn everything down, and it’s acceptable on the go, but at home I could run it at 60 fps easy with better graphics if I stream it.

  I’m gonna pick up Selaco again at some point, but my experience with it so far has been just okay. I’m particularly annoyed at the color schemes and the dark areas combining with the low resolution to make enemies really hard to see. Sometimes I’m low health and sneaking around to avoid being seen, and I look down a dark hallway, see nothing at all, and then bullets start flying at me and I don’t see the enemies themselves until they come closer.

  Gyro-assisted aiming is actually quite effective.

  Thst’s not to say anything about those games though.

  Have you tried enabling gyro aiming? It makes a pretty big difference in FPS games for the smaller movements that are hard to get with a joystick.

  Checkout protondb.com search for anything. Chances are just about any game you might want to play will run on the Steam Deck. Games that outright don’t work are few and far between. The exception is competitive games with invasive (often kernel-level) anti-cheat measures.
