From what I know, most guides on piracy on steam deck involves running the game through Steam's launcher as a "Non-Steam Game" which kinda feels sketchy to me, since the Steam Launcher portion of SteamOS is not open source, and they could be phoning home to Steam's servers and reporting me as a pirate. Maybe they don't go hard on pirates for now, but at any point in the future, they could pull a Nintendo move.

Oh lol I didn't know there was an alternative OS compatible with steam deck. I thought that the only Linux OS out there were all for Laptop/Desktop PCs.

TIL

The steam deck is pretty much just a PC with a built in gamepad. You can put windows or any OS you want on it.

SteamOS, which comes pre-installed on the Deck is Linux.

You can even enter desktop mode and use it as a PC.
