Running non-steam games?
Running non-steam games seems to be a bit of a hassle.
- Adding them to Steam and trying to run it doesn't work at all(every game doesn't even launch)
- Adding them to lutris works, but you need to go out to desktop mode.
- Using lutris in nested desktop, gamepad settings are all screwed up because it's running at nested desktop input settings.
Is there any solution to this?

Add to lutris, right click, add to steam
play in gamemode
Use the SteamGridDB decky plugin to easily add high quality art to them as well
You mean 'Create steam shortcut'? I can't find any 'add to steam' menu.
yes
it will appear when steam is restarted
Creating steam shortcut doesn't do anything for me. Doesn't show up in the library
Oh
which happens if you return to gamemode
can also exit and reopen steam
Thanks! Now it works just as I want it to!

@Kyle Gospo One more question, can I run my Non-steam windows games with Proton? Wine seems to run the same game slower than steam deck.
In Lutris you'll want to use Wine-GE, same patch set as Proton-GE
Like this?
Yep
Could you tell me more about the patch? It still is marginally slow than SD, I must have left something out.
Wine GE is proton-ge without the steam specific stuff
They are one and the same
If you're having bad performance, your issue is most likely nothing to do with your chosen runner
Makes sense. Thanks! maybe it's because the game is on the SD card
