I was thinking Steam Deck might push some Linux support, who knows.
It sounds like it will use a compatibility layer, and I’m expecting that said layer will likely be tied to Steam such that you can’t just run a non-Steam copy of a game using it even if it’s perfectly playable through Steam. I hope I’m wrong.
Gaming devs have become as obsessed with their DRM as they are the woke.
Humble says the subscription games themselves will still be DRM-free. Of course such a statement from people of the moral quality of Humble is worth jack shit in the long run.
Humble does already sell titles with DRM you have to redeem on other platforms, so perhaps they want to move those over eventually and cut them out of the revenue loop.

Steam deck uses Proton to provide compatibly to non Linux games. You can use Proton with non Steam games. You can install non Steam games on the Steam Deck.
Just what everyone wants yet another launcher. Yeah, there's probably already one I haven't used their service before.
