My only excuse for holding off on Linux over the years has been my Steam library of games on my PC. Now that VALVe have brute forced Linux compatibility for the vast majority of my library, I really have no excuse.
This was my issue, until I found HOLO iso steam OS (arch linux) which is what the steam deck is run on. It is amazing on any modern gaming rig. I was anchored to windows 7 for my steam library until I installed this. If you are a heavy steam user like I am, I cannot recommend this distro enough.
I have quite a steam library myself. Look up games on the Proton Database to check compatibility. Most games I've wanted work. I took a chance and bought a game recently that has no ratings yet on Proton and it worked, so I'll add my review to it soon.
I generally play 2D games, but my daughter enjoys 3D games as well.
