So for background info, I daily drive Arch for everything BUT my gaming, for that I virtualize windows 10 with QEMU GPU pass-through and it runs really well and serves my needs perfectly. Recently however I picked up a steam deck and have been playing all sorts of games natively on Linux with proton or maybe proton GE. By a WIDE margin, more games work than don't; However the only game I haven't gotten to work completely has been fortnite but even then I'm able to get into a lobby and run around before crashing  .

That setup sounds solid, especially with QEMU GPU passthrough it’s impressive how well Linux gaming has improved with Proton and Proton GE. Fortnite is tricky though because of its anti-cheat, which is why it crashes even if you can get into a lobby. Honestly, it shows how far things have come when most games just work out of the box now. It’s kind of like finding useful tools such as https://manoknapula-modapk.ph/, where the right setup makes everything run smoother.

From my experience, the biggest limitation on Linux is still anti-cheat systems and certain DRM-heavy titles especially games tied to launchers like Riot or some EA titles. That said, a lot more runs now thanks to Proton and Wine. If you’re into lighter or mobile-style games, those are usually not an issue at all since they’re designed for Android rather than Linux. I’ve seen people just use emulators for apps like Teen Patti-style games. For example, something like 3 Patti Blue runs fine on Android, and you can check it here: https://3pattibluee.com.pk.So yeah, it really depends on the type of game you’re trying to run.
