This is technically true, but they specifically state that they don't support Linux in their faq.
This is "just" a SteamDeck build.

(I actually tried to run it on debian, but it didn't want to start. That said, I invested 0 time, maybe it was just a minor thing. no idea)

SteamOS is Arch based, Debian is well Debian based. Makes sense for it not to work, shame nonetheless.

Steam packages its own Linux runtimes and seldom uses system dependencies. Maybe SteamOS has a different runtime for Steam Deck though.

Like i said, i just changed the runtime and clicked run, and that was it. it is very well possible that it could work with 30 seconds of brain-involvement.
