Recent patch notes sounded like they might be hinting at upcoming ROG Ally support, but it's now confirmed.

Even if Valve pushed their own Steam machine back then, it would have failed miserably. It simply had terrible game support because Proton didn't exist (or integration with wine). Only the few native linux games out there would work.

But now Valve has Proton. I doubt the Steam Deck would have taken off if it wasn't for that.
