Deck-Month: a Decker game jam

But the software would probably still run on Linux even if you didn’t run it on a deck. All of that is control mapping and nothing the deck provides is specifically unique. The game would be developed on not-a-Steam-Deck most likely.

Gameboy games aren't typically developed on Gameboy (though NES games used to be!) and most consoles will run on linux via emulation or ("simulation" in the case of Playdate).

The steam deck has some unique features. And regardless, it's just about sparking creativity. But I am curious if anyone has gotten Aperture Desk Job (Steam Deck exclusive) to run on another device.

Yes you can play Aperture Desk Job on your PC. Steam even provides mapping support for software if you couldn’t. Gyroscopic features can be mapped to a mouse movement.
