Mostly it just works. The Steam Deck runs Linux and they've put a lot of effort into making as many games as possible work on it. At the same time, developments for AI has made video cards work very well on Linux too.

If you want the latest mmo shooter it might not work but so far every game I've played has worked with no hassle.
