I would love to as well, if the Linux versions would boot up and run on Steam Deck. Even when I was gaming on my desktop, which is pure Arch, I remember regularly needing to edit Linux games or recompile dependencies to get them to work.

Flibitijibibo has some good commentary on when to dynamically/statically link libraries, leaning towards statically linking dependencies when possible to avoid relying on the OS too much. Coincidentally, Flibitijibibo's Linux ports are some of the few where I can just download them and be confident that they're likely going to work out of the box with zero troubleshooting.
