Wife said to me this morning "Running Windows games like that seems unnatural" So of course immediately generated this meme.

Why do I have to click this box? Why isn't the default option. I just want to click on a Windows game and then install. I'm I alone on this?

You can enable such an option in the settings

There's no way to set it as default completely. You can set it as default for titles that Valve hasn't explicitly overriden, but if Valve decides that a certain game works with Proton 8 or Hotfix, it will automatically install those. I really wish there was a way to force Experimental in all cases.

thats what I did. I just check steam deck compatibility before hitting install

I would guess to help excuse [compatibility] errors. Make you cognizant of the experimental nature, perhaps head you off before complaining to the developers.
