Can you share some examples that are not in steam that don’t work?
Especially after adding the game to the Steam Library and launching it either through Proton (if it's a Windows game) or enabling the Steam Runtime (if it's an ancient Linux game).
Genshin Impact doesn't work.
Genshin works on my steam deck. You just have to add the installer to steam as a non steam game and then tell it to run in compatibility mode with proton.
@Reiea @mintiefresh
Yeah! Been wanting to try
this.
It installs to wine prefix.
It's cross-platform, they
just don't like Linux, LOL.
Also worked on Bottles.
Thanks.
Installs on Android on VM via geanymotion
on arch (Garuda Linux). Have not tested android
on steamdeck yet, next.😃
It does, since 3.8 it doesn't activate mihoyo protect. Besides, there were community projects bypassing the anti-cheat
Huh interesting. Wasn't aware of that (3.8).
The anti-cheat is so annoying. Really wish they just made it easier to play on Steam Deck. I am aware of the community projects but haven't tried them yet. Id rather not risk a ban.
That said, I don't play this game enough to want to install Windows anyways.
Been playing since May on Linux with an FPS unlocker and have no issues. Game requests all shaders on launch so there's no stuttering
Thanks! I was not aware of this. Do you play this game? It looks interesting, but I’m worried it’s a game that will require me to keep paying to progress.
Not a ton. So it's not a big deal to me or enough to tempt me to install Windows. But I do wish it worked better with a Steam Deck.
For me I really wish I could use GamePass on my steamdeck. Right now it is mostly collecting dust except for when I go on vacation. It's still a great machine though.
You can always use the Microsoft provided tutorial to run GamePass through Edge
All browsers games that require installation, Nexon games, foreign games not available in USA or Europe, a game made in custom code or another language, all PC-98 games, CD games (unavailable to be digitally made), servers games like Pangya or NFSW. ETC, the list goes on and on, sure YOU think some of these games are bad or should be gone but that’s besides the point of how not to always use one software for games.
A lot of the games you listed would have the same issue on Windows. Additionally it likes like pc-98 can work on Linux.
I don’t see why CD games wouldn’t work on Linux. You can connect a disk drive just like you can in windows. And can then make an iso of the cd for convenience.
One game you listed, Pangaya shutdown.
I’m not saying everything works on Linux, but at this point the large majority does.
Others have pointed out other titles that are pretty popular that don’t work on Linux. So if that game is important to you, I don’t blame you for not using Linux. I use windows for work for the same reason.
But just be fair.
Star Citizen only works on Windows and also isn't compatible with Steam.
Let them finish building the game first, then I think it'll be fair to talk about compatibility.
That’s unfair. By that logic all EA games are also excluded /s
Hey, hey. Let's not forget Bethesda games.
Star Citizen absolutely works on Linux. I've played it myself without issue when I got a drake Corsair
Looks like it works.

Lutris can be used as a launcher for games and users can generate launch scripts to get games to work.
I use this only if something does work through proton alone.
Thanks!
