Atari Recharged Retro Revival Humble Bundle is live and it includes the nice big Atari 50 Anniversary Collection, along with a bunch of their modernized Recharged series games.
You know the drill - below I'll go through and individually list the expected compatibility on Steam Deck and Linux desktop, along with any ProtonDB rating and noting any Native Linux versions available. Plus each is a Steam link, so you can go see more info on each if you need to. All of the Recharged titles have Native Linux support.

Not interested in all the hoopla that comes with it and would prefer to bring my own emulator. An 11.7GB download (as stated on gog) seems a bit excessive for my use case.
Does the atari 50 collection come with a link for just the roms at any of the shops?

It's an interactive documentary with well produced videos and original documents and artwork that takes you through the history of Atari. I really enjoyed it, but you can skip all that if you want and just jump straight to the game library. As far as I know, there is no way to play the games separately, but the emulation is excellent, so there's no reason to.

Still need to download the file though.

11.7 GB for 50 roms? I might want to do something with the other 11.65.

There's actually over 100 games in the collection, plus more are being added through DLC, and that 11GB includes dozens of video interviews, historic photographs, and original artwork and documents. It's more a digital museum than just a simple compilation of games.

I get it, but I would personally completely understand why someone might watch the videos (themselves things that could have been packaged as separate downloads) however many times and then just want to keep the ROMs. Imagine being on a 64GB steam deck.

That's what SD cards are for
any recommendations from these?
Lacking nostalgia for the originals, nothing jumps out at me; I guess you are in the same boat.

I have played some brilliant asteroid clones over the years, including one two player that I forget the name of. Unfortunately the original game with original graphics does not quite live up to my memories.
