Grezzo 2 on Steam Deck?
Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.

Roller coaster Tycoon 2 saves
I use ProtonUp-Qt to get different Proton versions. You can find it there. You could also manually install Lux. Then just select it from the Compatibility tools.

GZDoom and Linux
There's a project called Luxtorpeda which acts as a compatibility layer in Steam but instead of running the game through Proton, it will download and run it with native engines and source ports. So if you enable it with classic Doom it will pop up with a dialog asking which port to play with (GZDoom, doomsday etc) and it will count towards your Steam play time, enable the Steam overlay etc. Keeps the engine up to date and works with lots of other games with open source ports too.

Is ScummVm required?
You should probably use Protonup-QT to install Roberta, it'll be like a selectable proton version in steam but instead it's using native scummVM. Not sure about cloud saves though unfortunately.
- Is there something like Boxtron but specific to ScummVM?

Has Linux Gaming just turned into PC Gaming in Wine?
But, I can see the logic in starting off as a compatibility layer for Windows designed applications and start out as a simplified product line and go from there, the full on steam machines was a barge in, but Proton and the Steam Deck is more of a foot in the door, not even that, because I think that proverb is still a metaphor of an unwelcome entrance, but I can't think of a welcoming analog. I think it needs to be a transitional thing and instead of game devs targeting windows, I think they should target an ABI abstraction The developers of Zork instead of reprogramming it for every CPU, they just reprogrammed it for an abstraction and ported the abstraction and that's why you can be eaten by a Grue in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Roberta is compatible with too many 80's and 90's games to mention and ScummVM has exceeded the scope of just adventure games. Said abstraction compatibility would also make x86 less relevant.
