The best way would be installing windows, as then you can play them offline and it isn’t dependent on how good your current connection is
No because windows runs like ass and most games will run like crap. Better to let the game pass server render the game and push it to your device.
Windows runs fine on Deck. Performance is similar to SteamOS. SteamOS advantage is the shader pre-cache, which you can get on windows with DXVK. And again, connection isn’t always stable for xcloud, especially if you’re out, which I assume someone who has a portable device is doing.
