BTW, I ran Freelancer (old Microsoft space game !) and I was impressed how well it worked and ran on lutris and all the magic arround it.
Nowadays, people get the habit that everything works out of the box, they just have to “press, swipe, click, that’s it”. Technology litteracy is taking a big hit on newer generation, while being flooded with some kind of “Artificial Intelligence” to do their homework… 😮💨
No there are solutions. For myself I had to install a few packages Vulkan I think, and then add something via WINE installer. You will find help here and on the web. You basically add the missing components so the Wrong Code works on Linux. Forcing a particular version of Proton comoatibilty ia often the fix. Its not a Linux thing, its a cross compatibility configuration thing.
If you install Windows on the deck you might find it runs worse.
Running a cracked Windows based game on another OS it was never intendes to run on, and complaining the OS is the problem is comical.
I would’ve disagreed with this if OP hadn’t said “why does linux suck so much”. But yeah, I hope Bottles or adding the game to Steam worked!

I mean I guess I have to install Microsoft’s crappy OS on the steamdeck. Fuck my life
Not necessarily; try Bottles first and see how that works for you.

No, steam deck is crappy for whatever you are trying to do.
