Are there hardcore gamers there or is it mostly for coders?

Thanks to Valve and Proton gaming on Linux is already pretty viable and it's getting better all the time. I am very happy with how compatible Steam Deck is and what's funnier sometimes stuff that doesn't work on newer Windows versions works perfectly on a Deck. Battle.net Launcher installed as a non-Steam app and set to run with Proton allowing me to install and play Diablo IV just like I would on my PC just blew my mind.

Never thought of installing the launcher and setting it to run with Proton. Do you know if it's possible to play Fortnite on the deck using this method?
