For most games, you can use Proton. Go into desktop mode, add your non-Steam game, right-click it, and select 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool'. Pick Proton and you're good to go!

You can add non-Steam games by switching your Steam Deck to desktop mode. Open Steam, click 'Games', then 'Add a Non-Steam Game'. Find the game's executable file and add it. Simple as that!
