WorkOS

Can't you just run the beta Steam Big Picture on startup and run SWICD for controller support outside of Steam and get 90% of default SteamOS functionality?
Both of these are inaccurate; about half of anti-cheat games work on Linux. And it's certainly not almost anything online, it's mainly competitive shooters and then the occasional other game where competitive integrity is important.
As others have mentioned, you first need to install the Steam Drivers (https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6121-ECCD-D643-BAA8) that Valves offers and then either Steam Deck Tools (https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools) or the Steam Deck Post-Install Script (https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamDeckPostInstallScript).

The only difficulty is that the steam deck controller is a steam gamepad rather than a more widely compatible x-input (what non-steam controllers use.) All you need is to install a program that bridges that gap like https://glossi.flatspot.pictures/
