On the steam deck, you can run most things by adding them to steam as non-steam games. It'll probably work for other distros too.
While that’s absolutely true (and that method should work on other Linux devices too) it’s kind of a hassle when you have to change the exe path multiple times just to install the game and it’s dependencies like dx, visual c etc.
I’d recommend that method only if you’re a purist (and a bit of a masochist :D ) and you want to keep the machine as bloat free as possible at any costs
if you were a purist you wouldnt have steam tho and would just use wine from cli, no?
You’re absolutely right. For some reason I had Steam pre-installed in my head, probably bc the SD is the only Linux device I’m using
This is the easiest method that just clicks for me. No installing any other launchers, no running some scripts. Perfect in the case you don't pirate games that much
