I've never had a Steam account or done PC gaming. I have a OLED SteamDeck coming, what do I need to know? (lemmy.world)

Pretty much title, and looking for game recommendations. I'm hoping I can play Apex Legends and The Finals reasonably well on it. I'm out of cell service frequently so I'm looking for interesting games I can download. I'm mostly a FPS player but do third person for World of Warships on console.

Welcome, you're in for a treat !

If you stick to verified games on Steam, there is little need for tinkering, if at all.
If you do want to tinker, this well is so deep it can become a hobby in and of itself.
As for recommendations for single player games, there are so many and often heavily discounted. Somewhat randomly, I'm going to suggest Prey (FPS, scifi setting) and Sniper Elite 4 (TPS, WW2 setting). Get them on sale !

Note that even though a game isn't verified, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to do any tinkering. You might have to, but it's not a guarantee or even necessarily incredibly likely.

The only time I've had to do eg. configuration file editing was to get Starfield (yes yes I know, shame on me) to run a bit better, but otherwise I haven't had to do any sort of fuckery to get non-verified games to run.
