Bedrock Minecraft on the SteamDeck? (self.steamdeck)

I've been thinking about getting a Deck and was wondering if anyone has experience running Bedrock Minecraft on it? Specifically with regards to controls, and updates. A few years ago I was playing Bedrock on my linux laptop, and it seemed like there were times where the client would be outdated, keeping me from playing with my kid.

Thanks for all the feedback!

The flatpak (I think that's what people are talking about here) was what I was using before and IIRC, there was at least one point where the dev threw his hands up and stopped working on it, as someone (MS? Mojang? Google?) was making his life harder. That's probably my biggest complaint about Bedrock, actually. It's not nearly as buggy as its reputation claims, but lordy there's a lot of hands in that pot. And that's before you even start talking about cross play from the Switch...

I was actually hoping to hear that somehow Proton and the Windows version of Bedrock was the way to go these days, but glad that there's at least something.
