Lutris Game Manager released with Steam Deck Support

Steam Deck users will be pleased to know that they can use Lutris to download their favorite games, which was not possible before, and this is the first release since Steam Deck has been handed over to users.

And all of this is possible because Valve has provided the Steam Deck Developer Kit, which is the best collaboration to provide the SDK, which will eventually help them gain more consumers in the market.

However, the Lutris Flatpak version requires some more work. Until then, you can install Lutris on Arch Aur repositories to test out the rolling features.
