According to Valve, they managed to run pretty much all x86 games (so far) on their new ARM-based PCs thanks to this FOSS project:
github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX
This runs together with Proton to seamlessly transcode Windows x86 games for Steam OS on ARM. FOSS is THAT cool!

It can run x86-based games on an ARM-based processor using FEX. That's a huge deal and could mean an ARM-based Steam Deck down the line. github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX bsky.app/profile/pyor...
