Do you have an existing Steam Library? Tons of games are verified on the deck. Anything with controller support is great.
If you haven't played them: brotato, Hades, and Stardew Valley are all perfect on the deck, off the top of my head
Ive never been on the steam website, so no library. Controller support, will my nintendo switch pro controller work with the deck?
It will, but he meant games that have control schemes designed for controller inputs, because that's the easiest way to get started with the deck in handheld.
Steam input is extremely powerful and can be set up to make pretty much anything playable with the inputs the deck provides, but because the game won't tell you the controls (and you might need to manually set it up), it's more of an adjustment.
While I ignore "deck verified", if you want to stay safe until you're more comfortable, valve's "great on deck" part of the store/library is pretty helpful.
Whilst I've got no particular suggestions for it, I'd suggest taking a look at humble bundle, they do games bundles (and other book/asset bundles) at very good prices, normally focusing on a genre/publishes/studio/franchise. This is how a lot of people get going with steam and start to build a library of games, the bundles are often cheaper than the listed price of a single game.
it should be supported.
