   Game dev reminder: if you set your Steam game or demo as available for "Steam Deck" via Steam admin, it will *only* download on Steam Deck and be empty on Desktop Linux.

   Don't tag your content depot for Steam Deck, unless it's a very specific optimization for it of some sort.

     Example pictured is for Chroma Blasters Demo. The content listing has Windows, then the other is Linux and Steam Deck, but as Steam Deck is set on it - the download by default is empty on Desktop Linux.

     Yeah, I know, Steam admin is a nightmare of options, I'm told this a lot.

     might even be intentional by some devs, because they only want to support steamdeck, not Linux in general ("so many distros with so many potential problems and so few users")
