[help] Getting my first steam deck tomorrow (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Getting my steam deck tomorrow. Already had Linux like steam deck on my laptop a while ago (didn't work well because fuck Nvidia)

But wanted to know what you all think is important to put on a steam deck, that's not something that's not what duckduckgo says with the websites it has. (I worded that horribly)

What are some niche things can I could do/install/play on the steam deck that most people wouldn't really do or think about doing?

I don't know a lot about Linux as I wish but I know a ok ish amount. Just wanting to find anything really interesting or useful to do with my steam deck

Also anybody know any casual games I can play randomly on public transit and don't have to sit down and play. Things that I can just easily stop. (Something like balentro kinda way you can just stop whenever)

My boring advice is to spend a few weeks using it as it is out of the box: just play your favorite games on it.
After a while you might get a sense of what you would like to change (if anything) and then you can research how to go about it.

For casual games on the Deck some my most played are The Binding of Isaac (most hours by far), Brotato, Deep Rock Survivor, Slay the Spire, Balatro, Dead Cells, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Shotgun King. But there are so many good choices, it really depends on your taste.
