The most successful Linux devices are the ones you don’t need to know Linux to use. The Steam Deck has been exemplary in that regard. In my experience, I haven’t had to do anything but use it. Even desktop mode is just click and play.

I love my Steam Deck, thanks Valve!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Steam Deck from Valve has now hit over 12,000 games that are rated Playable or Verified.
While it's still far short of the total number of games and software on Steam, which is now over 96,000, it's still an impressive number that Valve has been able to get through and give some form of testing.
At time of writing the current numbers are:
