It should be noted that a lot of 'unknown' and even 'unsupported' games work just fine, so it's hard to say what the actual number of 'playable'+ games is.
As an example - Resident Evil 5 is currently marked as 'unsupported', but works flawlessly out of the box. So far I've played for about 15 hours and the experience has been perfect.
Yeah, the number of "unsupported" games that I played and finished on my steam deck is higher that one would expect.
I'll just add that this has been my experience, as well.
There may be some bias toward old games in my "unsupported" library, because I stopped buying "unsupported" games, when I bought a SteamDeck.
But many of my "unsupported" games just work anyway.
If something's marked unsupported I just double check ProtonDB before I buy it
I should really learn to do the same. I might pick up some games I've passed over.
If you use decky loader then you can get the protondb badge plugin. Then you can see pretty fast what state it is in
