So I just bought my 500gb deck yesterday (UK) hopefully won’t be waiting long, and I’m trying to understand the best way to play my non steam games. With proton will I be able to play without wine and stuff alike? Is it as easy as adding the windows exe to steam with proton and go?

    For non steam games, I install the game on pc, copy the game to my deck, choose proton… works for most. This avoids any odd installer quirks on the deck

        Yes. I personally use syncthing for xfer. I have another folder called Steam Deck Game Sync I copy (not move) games into that auto syncs any games I want on deck. If I want them off the deck, I can delete via PC in that folder. I do have 200TB of RAID 10 storage so copying full game installs on my deck is no issue. From there if I am playing on both devices, I also use syncthing for game save syncing.
