How to Use Trainers on Steam Deck
Using trainers on your Steam Deck involves a bit of a workaround since it's not directly supported. You'll generally need to run your Steam Deck in Desktop Mode, then download and install the trainer for the game you want to use it with. Remember to run the trainer before starting your game. It's a bit like teaching an old dog new tricks, but for your Steam Deck!

Honestly, using trainers on the Steam Deck can feel a bit like hacking your way through a jungle with a butter knife. It's possible, but expect some trial and error. Pro tip: Compatibility mode is your friend. And always, always, make sure you're respecting the game's terms of use. Don't be that guy.
From personal experience, running trainers on the Steam Deck is a mixed bag. Some work beautifully after launching in Desktop Mode, while others just give you the cold shoulder. The key is patience and making sure your trainer is up to date with the game's current version.
