Steam Deck compatibility has a much higher standard since it requires the performance being good, gamepad support, etc, and even that's at 40%. General Linux can't be less than 95% for games that don't require kernel level anticheat. Try checking a random sampling on https://www.protondb.com/.

I appreciate it; seeing more than a couple of people recommending protondb. I'll have to investigate it on my next day off from work that's not a weekend. Thank you.
