I'm testing a Steam devcomp which has a Linux depot and a Windows depot, but weirdly, my Steam Deck would download the Windows depot by default.

I asked Steam about this, and they said that only Steam Verified games would download the Linux build by default.

Now you know 😀

That's... weird? I don't get the reasoning. Like, the Windows build is more likely to run than the Linux build on the Deck?

Weird, that's 100% not how it works for released games.

Games will only use Proton by default if it's been through Deck Verified to set it to Proton, or if the user has manually set it to Proton

If it has a Linux build, it will use it by default for normal released games if it has a Linux build and a correct launch config
