Valve bringing Android games to Steam and thus Linux is a weird case of "No! But yes! But No! 😅
Android games need the boost, but the winner is really Waydroid. Maybe one day Android apps won't even need an environment to run on Linux.
Discussion
Are there any games on Android worth playing?
There is minesweeper.

I like free games because I can try all sorts of different things and don't feel bad if I don't like it
Currently I like these two on Android:
Alto's Adventure = Skifree meets Tony Hawk
Iron Marines = simplified Starcraft
I've also heard good things about various professionally made games which have a retail price, eg the Hitman puzzle game
Also bringing Steam games to Android. Things are about to get crazy.

Difficult to play a complex game on this devices ( just my opinion),but I'm surprised that deck is very capable of doing it and I saw people being very happy about it....
But playing a "beefier mobile game" on that should run as smooth as butter
Plug it into a monitor, keyboard & mouse 👍
I'll try and test some games on it tomorrow.
I've played some Diablo in desktop mode on my 8 pro. Yes 👍
I don't play much but Valve's work on Linux gaming made me finally ditch Windows for good
