That might be the play here. I can get accustomed to the thought while waiting for Steam Deck 2 to release (2026?). 

Give or take. I love my Steam Deck, but the biggest crutch though is that it's built on top of Linux. An OS that is not very widely adopted in game development. And their Proton compatibility layer can only go so far.

So you would have to come around to the thought that you're not going to be able to play everything or you'll have to find a workaround. Especially on other launchers or games that incorporate anti-cheat.

Proton goes really, really far. If you can't play a game on the Steam Deck, it's more likely to be because the hardware isn't strong enough than being a compatibility problem, unless it's one of those games with bad anticheat yadda yadda.
