Back in the yonder days of lore, I too ended up on Debian, or at least Debian based distros…
I was actually able to get RDR2 running on Debian via Steam/Proton in like… 2020/21?
That required a good deal of bullshit though, felt like I practically had my own lite custom distro at that point.
Worked online too! Untill Rockstar decided linux users are all dirty hackers/no longer supported.
… they still owe me money as far as I’m concerned.
But good lord, getting a Steam Deck has made me lazy.
Bazzite is just so much easier for 99% of the shit I actually do.
You can use the prepackaged DistroShelf to fairly quickly just set up a Debian or w/e environment, to do things like compiling and such, as Bazzite is Atomic, which means it tends to get mad or break if you directly futz with its core packages.

Gaming on it? Literally works out of the box.
