Not a small amount it’s a big amount. You have to stop assuming everything is on steam and working outside of steam.
Dude, most of us have hundreds of games on our Steam accounts with only 1-2 not able to run on Linux. Either you’re a troll or have no idea what you’re talking about
Those 100s of games need modification or changes to the settings that impact your gameplay. That’s not how anyone should play Linux games and shouldn’t be restricted to because of company being lazy about Linux.
What settings? What impact on gameplay?
For over a year now, I’ve just been buying games, hitting download, waiting, then hitting the big’ol green “PLAY” button, and the game starts up same as windows.
The whole point of proton is that it’s not up to devs to “support” linux, it doesn’t matter if they don’t even try to, proton has gotten so damn good at pretending to be windows that it doesn’t matter anymore.
Even my windows VR games work with it.
The windows versions of games in proton, sometimes run better than poorly made native linux ports.
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.
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.
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.
It does, since 3.8 it doesn’t activate mihoyo protect. Besides, there were community projects bypassing the anti-cheat
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.
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.
I had 3.18 running on my Deck, just as an exercise in my own curiosity. 10-15fps on the lowest settings wasn’t great, but it worked. Credit where it’s due, that’s damn impressive for a PC that fits in your palm.
The only real blocker was that gameplay isn’t feasible on that tiny screen; the game just isn’t intended to played like that.
Let them finish building the game first, then I think it’ll be fair to talk about compatibility.
