steam input in lutris games?
The easiest way to do this is to use Boilr. It supports Lutris and will add your Lutris games to Steam as shortcut automatically (and also download game art from SteamGridDB if you give it an API number). Boilr is also on Flathub so installing it and using it is super super easy.

The worst part of the Steam Deck? Launchers.
For most of them, use Boilr. Sometimes it doesn’t work, or the launcher isn’t supported, then you gotta look up “How to add X launcher games to steam”.

Yet another Steam Deck settings guide (30fps)
I unfortunately haven't used steam rom manager before. I'll take a look into it if I get some spare time today and update this comment with how to do it. I use an app called BoilR to add my non-steam games and download artwork for them. You can read about it on it's GitHub page. It may be a bit more technical but I like it better since it adds the emulators rather than the games. This so I don't have my steam library filled with duplicates of my games between yuzu stable and yuzu-ea, if that makes sense.

Can Wine-GE play the ARR opening movie?
I have FF14 working with WINE-GE 8-21 on Arch Linux. The only issue seems to be with video playback from ARR. The openings for Heavensward thru Endwalker all play OK.

FSR is back with the latest GE Wine/Proton release: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11
