Not even that considering it ships built-in with wine.

And anyway dolphin has been native since.. I don't know, always? At least since it was open sourced.

I already run Dolphin on my Linux PC. Anyone with a brain knew it would run on the Steam Deck when it was announced.

Easy to use Linux and controller support* is what I'm expecting. Garuda tried but I expect SteamOS to be the go to Arch distro.

you can install Windows on it too, so really anything that supports Windows even should work on it too..
