Sure can! It's like the Wild West of gaming on that little device. You wanna play games from other platforms? Go right ahead. Just be ready for a bit of tinkering and troubleshooting, cowboy style.

Absolutely! The Steam Deck runs on a Linux-based system but don鈥檛 let that scare you. It鈥檚 built to support Steam games out of the box, but with some tweaks, you can get non-Steam games running too. Proton, a compatibility layer, helps a lot with this. Think of it as a bridge allowing Windows games to run in Linux environments. Just add the game as a non-Steam game to your library, and off you go!
