I saw a review where it was said that you can only play steam games, but I just looked it up and apparently you can play all the other games as well by simply adding them or launching other launchers…

Steam invest’s into the gaming community? Do you have any source for that so that I can read about that?

They’re pretty much the entire reason gaming on Linux is as active as it is today.

    Well I asked for a source
    
    I’m not AwesomeLowlander but you asked for something that can be googled in literally 5 to 10 seconds:

    Yes, maybe it just takes 5 seconds. But it’s not my turn to Google things people claim here, especially because I nicely asked for sources ( to inform myself about it ).
    
    Anyway, I’ll not respond here anymore

Yeah nah, I have a Steam Deck, and it’s literally just a PC in the form factor of a Switch. It has a BIOS menu, you can install Windows on it (but you really shouldn’t), you can install a different flavor of Linux (I recommend Bazzite) – it’s like any other PC, just merged with a controller. I’m even able to install and play pirated Windows games through Proton, more or less fine, though you have to work for it a bit more.

and just to gush a bit more: the Deck is the only thing I can remember pre-ordering in the last 10 years and being genuinely happy that I did.

  And add to that the story behind DXVK, which was the turning point around 2018 for Linux gaming. Valve hired the guy who created it, so they could develop it professionally instead of as a hobbyist. With it remaining open source and free.
  
  Yes, they do it because it helped them achieve what they wanted. But they don’t lock it down and they work with a lot of OSS which is then upstreamed.
