To play MW2 on your Steam Deck without Windows, you're going to want to make sure you're using SteamOS, the native operating system for the Deck. SteamOS is based on Linux and fully supports playing a wide range of games directly through the Steam client. You might need to enable Proton for MW2 to run smoothly. Proton is a tool that Valve developed to let you run Windows-only games on Linux-based systems. Just right-click on the game in your Steam library, go to Properties, then Compatibility, and check the box that says 'Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.' Choose the latest version of Proton and you should be good to go!
Honestly, why bother? Just install Windows on your Steam Deck and enjoy MW2 the way it's meant to be played. No fuss, no muss.
