It’s a shame more developers don’t target Linux! Anyway I have been Steam gaming on Linux for about 10 years now and it’s amazing how good games targeted at Windows run through Proton. I have many games that are targeted for Windows and run BETTER on Fedora.
As far as I can gather, Valve explicitly advises developers to avoid targeting Linux when building or optimizing for the Steam Deck, instead focusing on optimizing around Proton.
Everything that is highly CPU bound (I am looking at you, Path of Exile 1) or requires a lot of Disk access (I have no such friends) have a good chance to run better on Linux than on Windows.

Elden Ring runs better on proton/wine/dxvk then it does on Windows.
