Refresh features include: OLED HDR 90 hz Better battery life (50wh vs 40wh) Cooler Lighter Even better performance, even though not advertised by Valve! (because of the better DDR memory 6400mt/s vs 55000mt/s) Bigger screen

Depends. How techy are you? None of those games are officially supported on the Steam Deck, but Valve lets you dig around under the hood and install whatever you want. However, anything that isn't on Steam and officially supported will require some work for you to get running. That said, you can play just about anything on the Deck if you're willing to put in the time. The touchpads make the Deck very capable on traditionally kb/m games.

Ah I was wondering how mouse emulation worked

Can you play noon steam games at all, like is there a dev mode like how Chromebooks had?

There is a full desktop mode available, it runs Linux so any game that can be made to run on Linux will work.

Those games can be made to ruin on Linux

Then you should be good! As long as you're prepared to do the work to make them run.
