For Skyrim I’ve had pretty good luck with just adding Vortex mod manager as a non steam game, running it with Proton and using mods that way

Yes, SteamOS does count as Linux. Android does not. The Android and iOS Steam app is just for social features / store, not for playing games so neither show up on the survey.
SteamOS Holo, which is what the Steam Deck uses, makes up 42% of the Linux systems in the survey results.
They are “going hard” the way I see it. Without Valve doing legwork behind the scenes and collaborating with anticheat developers we wouldn’t even have Apex Legends running on Linux like we’ve had for a year and a half. They’ve been talking about wanting to use Linux as a viable PC gaming platform to escape Microsofts lockdown of their platform since the days of Steam Machines when Windows 8 and the new store app were giving bad signs.
Either way Valve would be silly not to provide a compatible way to use Windows on the Deck. Even though the situation is much better these days, they know very well that a lot of enthusiast PC gamers would be dismissive of the Deck if Windows couldn’t work properly on it and that word of mouth would bring less confidence in the product.
This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of the post. Mindustry is awesome, I got so addicted to it for a bit haha
