If you are unsure whether the build has been installed correctly, you can do the following:

HL: Alyx had a native port, it’s Proton only now. Is CS2 or Deadlock native or Proton?
I’m not aware of any new Valve HL1 remasters and Black Mesa was an indie effort. Similarly TF2 is being ported to ARM Macs by indie teams now that source code is available and Valve couldn’t be bothered.
https://steamdb.info/app/546560/ says otherwise. Also, Alyx A) predates Steam Deck by several years and B) Steam Deck is not a VR platform. Citing a game that predates Steam Deck as proof that “Valve doesn’t release native ports anymore” is a stretch.
Is CS2 or Deadlock native or Proton?
I already stated that CS2 is native and Deadlock 1.0 may be as well, should they follow the example set by CS2. You literally replied to a comment stating that.

Well, that’s on you. https://www.half-life.com/halflife/25th exists nonetheless: “Now Verified on the Steam Deck (and our native Linux runtime has been set as the default)”

Alyx had a native port. It doesn’t anymore as shown on Steam DB. This is because since Proton nobody cares. Not a great long term solution.

CS2 is just CS which had a native port. I won’t pat Valve on head that they aren’t doing more games dirty like they did with Alyx. Won’t speak about Deadlock until it releases, we’ll see.

Completely missed it, very nice, thanks. There’s even a Mac port, will check later.
