How to Run EXE on Steam Deck
No need for Wine or anything, just stick to Proton. I've been running all my Windows games through it on my Steam Deck without a hitch. Just make sure you enable it in the Steam settings for any game you want to run. Works like a charm!

Running an EXE on your Steam Deck is pretty straightforward if you're in desktop mode. Just download and install Wine or a similar compatibility layer like Proton (which is integrated into Steam for Linux). This will allow you to run many Windows applications, including games, right on your Steam Deck. Remember, not all EXEs may work perfectly due to compatibility issues, but it's worth a shot for most.
Actually, you can just use Proton, which comes with Steam Deck. Enable it for your non-Steam games in the settings, and you should be good to go. It's built for this kind of stuff, so no need to overcomplicate things with additional software.
