    Steam deck is a closed ecosystem so it is likely tied to the file system and bundled libraries.

    It would likely take a little work to get it working on other distros, but the underlying binary is now going to be elf and use the correct system calls

    Edit:

    Closed ecosystem is not the right word. Probably known system is a better way of saying it

      Steam Linux Runtimes (currently at version 3.0) are shipped with all Linux versions of Steam. SLR 3.0 is leveraging Bubblewrap, also used by Flatpak, for a containerized approach to libraries. Games are not supposed to talk to SteamOS libraries directly. SteamOS itself is not a stable development target by design.
