Yeah, but can any of those play the saves I already have on my computer??

Only issue you'll probably have is if the cloud saves are for a different OS, so if you're playing on Windows make sure it's the Proton version of the game that's installed on the Deck, if you're playing a native Linux version of the game on your PC then make sure it's the native Linux version that's installed on the Deck (usual defaults to the Proton version).

It's just an issue with the cloud save feature being too dumb, the path to the save folder isn't the same on both platforms so it doesn't sync well (although I think it does on some games).

It is rare to see a game get this wrong, the last one I saw was a Borderlands. If you look at a game's Steamdb cloud listing, they list Windows's save location, and then Mac/Linux saves are expressed as a rewrite rule.

Cloud saves on PS are handled quite simply - if you didn't pay for your very own PS Plus then go fuck yourself. I have lost dozens of Aloy hours on my brother's PS4.

Midnight Suns is the one I know of, and they fixed it early on. :)
