Itt: Use Linux Spam. This is not feasible for most users. Not all applicatopns are posted to Linux and some explicitly do not work. In particular for people that play games socially this just does not work. That being said they are unaffected by this change.

At this point the only games that don’t work on Linux are games using kernel level anti-cheats, and these are the largest games out there.

If you don’t play any of those games then your game most likely works just fine on Linux.

I'm finding out that particularly complex modding can be a bit of a pain as well, but thats a more niche category than gaming in general

(I'm having a TERRIBLE time trying to get Bannerlord Script Extender to work on my Steamdeck)

Let me know, or make a big post if you solve it. I haven't played Bannerlord since switching to Linux and don't want to dive into a quagmire quite yet.

I'll tinker with it more over the weekend, but I'm fairly new to linux myself, so we'll see if I can figure it out!
