Sure, finding games on the high seas is easy enough on my windows machine, but if I’m on my linux partition and want to play a game that would otherwise work if I bought it in Steam with proton, how would I go about getting the game to run?

On the steam deck, you can run most things by adding them to steam as non-steam games. It’ll probably work for other distros too.
While that’s absolutely true (and that method should work on other Linux devices too) it’s kind of a hassle when you have to change the exe path multiple times just to install the game and it’s dependencies like dx, visual c etc.
I’d recommend that method only if you’re a purist (and a bit of a masochist :D ) and you want to keep the machine as bloat free as possible at any costs
This is the easiest method that just clicks for me. No installing any other launchers, no running some scripts. Perfect in the case you don’t pirate games that much
