Also, the way it actually gets the vast majority of games to work well on Linux... Is to run then through a compatability layer that makes them think they're running under windows. 

I have a Steam Deck and love it, but acting like it's proof that Linux gaming is in a great state is just as silly as the "you can't game on Linux" crowd. You can game fine on Linux, but it's more hassle because you mostly have to trick the games into thinking you're not on Linux.

I can't really speak for a ton of non-Steam games, but it's not really a hassle in the Steam client. You click "enable Steam Play", and you're done (unless you want to tinker with it).

If the end result is that you're playing the game, I fail to see the problem, and why this would be evidence of gaming being in a poor state on Linux.
