    Wait, Genshin specifically? I heard some other Hoyo games might work. I found a Linux launcher on Github, but even they said it carried a ban risk.

      Genshin specifically. Used to run it on Lutris, but the new anti-cheat they have would kill it if it’s not run through Steam on Linux. Quite sure they want to keep it running on the deck, it seems like the perfect platform for this kind of games (don’t have the steam deck though, so don’t quote me on that).

        Hmm thanks.

        I don’t find that likely, since they don’t have Genshin on the Steam store, only on the Epic Store (that’s how I run it so I can count my playtime).

          Yes, but their “main competition” is (WuWa), and when they enabled their anti-cheat for Genshin that broke the game on Linux, they specifically coded a check to keep the game running though Steam (at least this is what people smarter than me says).
