First off, you gotta enable Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck. Once you're there, open the Discover Software Center. Search for 'ProtonUp-Qt,' and install it. ProtonUp-Qt makes it super easy to add or update Proton-GE. Launch ProtonUp-Qt, click 'Add Version,' select 'GE-Proton6-##,' and install. Switch back to Gaming Mode, go to your Steam Library, right-click on a game, Properties -> Compatibility, and pick the GE version you installed. Boom! You're all set to enjoy those non-native games with enhanced compatibility.
