I want to get one, but don't have one yet, unfortunately. A bit out of my price range at the moment.

I’m currently hooked on Diablo IV. It runs perfectly on the Deck, and has ended up being the place I play it the most now.
What I noticed on the desktop, and this might not be Linux specific, is that sometimes the framerate just goes to crap until you reset specific graphic settings. I typically uncheck & check smooth shadows as that's a quick one. At least they seem to fixed the general FPS degradation over long play times that was present in the beta events.
Lies of P demo. Been waiting on BG3 release, but might keep that to PC. Thinking of picking up Cassette Beasts.
Been running through a soul level 1 run on Dark Souls 1. Also love booting up some rogue legacy 2 or spelunky 2 in between.
Vampire Survivors, and Pico-8 games via Emudeck. Once I'm bored of those I plan to spend a bit more time with Snowrunner. I've never really got into it, but it looks like my sort of game.
Dark Souls 2 with a very nice lighting mod. It's called DS2LightingEngine SOFTS. I played DS1 and DS3 but could never get into DS2, partly owing to the visuals which I really didn't like. Now it looks cool and I'm getting a few deaths in here and there on the deck.

Currently playing Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (ppsspp) next will be the SC version I bought on Steam thinking it was a special edition not the second chapter...
I have been playing Hades and bejeweled on mine lately, they are some fun games

Been on BOTW now for the last week. Been having a lot of fun, though I'm kind of rushing through so I can start with TOTK.

I've been playing a lot of Tape to Tape Hockey, it's a hockey rogue lite in early access, tons of fun. Other than that, I'm slowly working my way through Octopatg 1 and waiting for AEW Fight Forever at the end of the month.
I've been playing a ridiculous amount of Persona 5 Royal lately. When I'm not playing it, I've been playing Brotato.
I absolutely love my steam deck. I’m an old WoW player and I currently play on TurtleWoW since classic isn’t really for me & I hate the guilt of paying for a monthly sub when my life is very sporadic with gaming time. It’s PERFECT for before bedtime in bed gaming before wife & I go to sleep.
Been mostly finishing up Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. Pretty fun, but the story and characters feel a little... Empty? Like there's not much going on outside of their respective archetypes. Gameplay is pretty standard JRPG, but it's fun nonetheless.
Some games through Steam I have played on Steam Deck(in no particular order): Cassette Beasts; Wizard of Legend; Skyrim; Tunic; Bugsnax. I have also played a few from Flathub through the Discover application. SuperTuxKart can be fun. Minecraft through Prism Launcher with a controller mod is decent enough, although I would prefer to have mouse and keyboard available.
Slayers X, this is a funny meta boomer shooter made by one of the characters of Hypnospace Outlaw, Hypnospace Outlaw is also great to play on the Deck.
