Oh right. ‘Except for games with anti cheats’ - so like, at least half the market lol, and more than 90% of games by game time.

Do you have anything more tangible than "lol"? Looking at the most played steam charts, there is about 10% that has anticheat that does not work on linux.

From the top 100 most played Steam games I count 26 (including 5 of the top 10) which are unplayable on Steam Deck for one reason or another.

But not all popular games are available on Steam, Fortnite or Rocket League are examples.

In the top 10 I see only 3: pubg, apex, and rust (no idea about delta force) but unplayable on the steam deck and whether the anticheat filters out linux are not the same.

That's like complaining that your PlayStation games don't work on your Xbox.
