I got Star Citizen running on my Steam Deck and it's awesome! Make sure you've got a good internet connection for the initial setup 'cause downloading everything takes a bit. Also, tweaking the graphics settings can really help get that smooth gameplay experience. Totally worth the effort!
Installing Star Citizen on your Steam Deck isn't as straightforward as downloading directly from the Steam Store, since it's not available there. But fear not! First, ensure your Steam Deck is in Desktop Mode. Then, download the 'Proton' compatibility tool from Steam. You'll also need to install 'Lutris' on your Deck - it's a cool open-source gaming platform that lets you run games not natively supported on Linux, including Star Citizen. After setting up Lutris, download the Star Citizen installer from the official website and run it through Lutris. Voila! Enjoy flying through space on your Steam Deck.
