    Steam deck is a closed ecosystem so it is likely tied to the file system and bundled libraries.

    It would likely take a little work to get it working on other distros, but the underlying binary is now going to be elf and use the correct system calls

    Steam Linux Runtimes (currently at version 3.0) are shipped with all Linux versions of Steam. SLR 3.0 is leveraging Bubblewrap, also used by Flatpak, for a containerized approach to libraries. Games are not supposed to talk to SteamOS libraries directly. SteamOS itself is not a stable development target by design.
