Deck-only scope

Some anti-cheats reportedly run only on genuine Steam Deck hardware, and not on desktop Linux distributions. This list is found by reading the community notes in the upstream dataset. Each quote is the contributor's wording, not our verification, and we do not know how the check works.

Deck onlyA note states it works only on Steam Deck hardware.

UncertainThe note hedges ("maybe", "likely", "might").

Every other game in the tracker is not Deck-restricted as far as the notes say. Its status badge describes Linux and Proton generally. Hardware notes like "non-OLED" are shown as written.
