No there are solutions. For myself I had to install a few packages Vulkan I think, and then add something via WINE installer. You will find help here and on the web. You basically add the missing components so the Wrong Code works on Linux. Forcing a particular version of Proton comoatibilty ia often the fix. Its not a Linux thing, its a cross compatibility configuration thing.
If you install Windows on the deck you might find it runs worse.
