    I want to add some information.
    1. Certain games need to be changed from their Fullscreen settings to Borderless Windows as they default to the wrong one when launched. You can launch them in Desktop Mode, Windowed. Then get to the settings, switch Borderless Windowed and then from there you can save and go back to Handheld Mode and launch it and it should work fine. Games like Digimon Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition has a Platinum Rating on Proton and works flawlessly after these changes.
    2. Some Anti-cheat games can be altered at the risk of being banned. Fall Guys has an easy work around to work on Deck at some risks but their Dev Studio are super cool and understanding. So far it seems like they are aware and intentionally trying not to ban anyone who have made these modifications but don't recommend you do it.
    Other Unsupported games have fixes as well based in Proton like the video explains but also have issues with launchers. There are a few fixes out there as well Vanburman has demonstrated all of these fixes for some games. I'd recommend to check him out after this video.

    Just one comment. GE is not the latest version of Proton, the latest version is the Experimental. GE are community builds that includes latest version of Wine.

      Yeah, was going to mention that "GE" stands for "Glorious Eggroll". He's the buddy that's been making Proton "work properly" for linux users for years. Keep these vids coming. The more people get into linux gaming, the better for everyone :-)

    Steam Deck is Windows Gaming and it's very cool! Like Xbox Series X and S, it works perfectly like a Windows 10/11 PC, According to Gaming on Windows 10 PC and Windows 11 PC, it does the same thing, but different, which it shows how those different fps goes faster! And Steam Deck is awesome with a lot of FPS and this is why The Steam Deck is popular!
    Steam Deck is popular now and it's awesome! And so does GPD XP, but Steam Deck is way powerful than GPD XP, and which is now GPD XP and Steam Deck has different specs.
    And I'm glad Steam Deck will be very powerful than GPD XP soon! :-D
    Xbox Series X and S Console was enjoying this and mostly with PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 will be restock at all stores soon!
    Thanks Microsoft and Valve.
