For me deck games should give at least 2hours and a half of battery life, some of those titles aren't good for deck even if they work on Linux and have controller controls.

Honestly, the best part of the OLED model is that it gets at least 2.5 hours of battery life on the more demanding games. The LCD Deck's 1.5 hours minimum just isn't enough time in my opinion.
One of my favorite Deck games is Snowrunner. It drains the battery quickly, but it looks and plays amazing with 45fps lock
That is definitely a good games list, but those are all very popular games, do you know if any such list exists for some good indie gems on sale?
I know SDHQ has a pretty large recommended sale list.
It's not focused on indie games, but it does include a decent number of them thanks to how many games it includes.
right, but those are all VERY popular indie games that most gamers know about lol
