I have a Steam Deck, and I love it. It can handle 90% of my library, and it’s always improving.
I decided to try out a linux distro for my OS, because the biggest drawback has always been the hoops that I had to jump through to get games up and running. I went for Pop OS, since that seemed to be natively friendly with NVidia, and the lowest barrier for entry. However, in Steam, I see that there is a much more limited selection of games compatible with my system. Is there a way around that, to get the same selection as my Steam Deck? Or is it this way because the Steam Deck is a singular platform that is developed for based on specific architecture?

You need to go to Steam settings and enable Steam Play for all titles, otherwise Steam will only show you native/verified games as playable.
Also I seem to remember doing the same on my Deck a while back, possibly he also did it there but forgot about it since this is a do once and never again thing.
That was exactly what happened. Once I realized it, I smacked my forehead.
If you like Linux and you end up staying, next time buy AMD, everything will be easier and ready out of the box.
