To help you decide on what to pick up, I've gone through the Steam Autumn Sale and picked out a whole bunch that will work great across both Steam Deck and Desktop Linux. These are my cheap-picks, to help those of you on a bit of a budget right now.
As always, these lists are a little biased to what I think look good, but obviously my tastes are the best and you should buy all of them and if you don't agree you're clearly wrong.
Jokes aside, I've split the list between two categories for you, each filled with an assortment of games. All the games are also 
Steam Deck Verified, so no hunting for compatibility needed. Every single one in the list is also at a minimum rated Very Positive by users on Steam too.

An absolute steal with that discount. I completely it on Steam Deck (not my first time…) and loved it.

Have you picked up anything good? I got suckered and picked up Diablo IV. Even though I have it on Battlenet, the Steam convenience is unmatched. And honestly, I forget to ever actually look at Battlenet - woops.
See all in the Steam sale.
I'll also recommend again the The Raw Fury Humble Bundle because it really is a good deal.
And, if you missed it, the next Proton update is in testing and coming soon. It's going to be a big one with plenty of game compatibility improvements.
