In Desktop Mode there are plenty of free and open source games available, which can be manually added to Steam Launcher.

Great, heard good things about OpenTTD! Do you game it directly on Steam Deck Controller or on Desktop with Mouse, Keyboard?

I’ve played it for many years on a desktop computer with a mouse, but now play it directly on the Deck for the pick-up-and-play convenience. Controls took some getting used to, but it looks and plays very nicely.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is available at a flatpak now, and it’s a really great roguelike.

The open source projects I’ve spent the most time playing are OpenMW and Primehack, but they both require you to have copies of the original games.

Great Game, for now i primarily play it on Android Phone. Easy to begin, but easy to die with one wrong click the game can be lost after hours of trying to get to the amulett!

I just played some Commander Keen through Commander Genius (although it’s a bit hard to set up).

Hey do you have a sane® controls mapping, i bought all Keens and wanted to finish them in order on deck. But manually mapping each one is going to be tedious

I used the WASD config and reconfigured it in Commander Genius so that B was fire and X was the pogo stick. A was already jump by default.
