Yeah, I agree, it's just a list of popular games that work reasonably well on Linux. There are a couple surprises, but it's otherwise about what I expect.

I honestly wouldn't play most of these games on Steam Deck. I prefer games like Little Nightmares and Hollow Knight, i.e. games where I expect to get decent battery life and that I can easily put down and pick up. I use my desktop for longer play sessions, and my Steam Deck for shorter play sessions around the house (and occasionally on trips).

But that doesn't mean this list shouldn't exist, it just means it's not particularly useful to me. I'd really like to see a list of games people play on Steam Deck far more often than on desktop.
