Can Steam Deck play non-Steam games?
Absolutely! The Steam Deck isn't just limited to your Steam library. Since it's essentially a portable PC, you can install third-party software and even other game storefronts. This means you can play non-Steam games as well. It's like carrying a mini gaming computer in your hands that isn't tied to just one store's offerings.

Yeah, it can. Just think of it as a mini PC. So if you can run it on Linux or install Windows on your Steam Deck, then you're good to go with whatever game or app you wanna use, Steam or not.
Nope, sticking to Steam games is the best. The Steam Deck is optimized for Steam, so why bother complicating things with other stores? Keep it simple and sweet.
For sure, the Steam Deck is more than just a Steam machine. I've got Windows on mine and can confirm it runs non-Steam games and apps just fine. It's pretty cool to switch between SteamOS for my Steam games and Windows for everything else.
