From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not OP but:

on a desktop it's defaulted to desktop mode. I'm unsure about the steam deck.
you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.
lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

The only games I'm unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.

Ah. Different builds for different versions. Makes sense
