This game has been free on Epic, free on GOG through Prime gaming, and free through gamepass. Does anyone know if they’re counting those free claims as “sales”?

Gamepass isn’t for me, but dual booting for it is understandable. But office? I’ve found LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are usually “good enough,” and if you really need true MS Office, I believe they offer web editors now
Considering Counter-Strike 2 completely dropped Mac support, I highly doubt it
Helldivers 2’s anti-cheat (nProtect GameGuard) is kernel-level on Windows, but has a userspace fallback for linux

It’s possible they want to support Steam Deck without supporting the rest of linux desktop, which would just be… dumb. The Steam Deck, in Valve’s own words, is “just a PC” anyway.
Considering they unbanned all most of the linux users last time though, this is likely just another mistake.
Just be aware that “stable” in the linux world means “old.” All of the software in the Debian repos will be much more out of date than some other distros like Pop!_OS, Fedora, or even Ubuntu. If you upgrade to newer hardware, or want to use newer software, Debian may not support it without jumping through some major hoops.
One of my main tools has been SteamDB’s instant search - it’s basically a giant list of all steam games, sorted by review score, with a TON of different filters you can apply. Looking specifically for something released this year? You can filter for it. Looking specifically for a co-op action shooter, or a singleplayer 2d platformer? You can filter for those too. Wanting to exclude early access games or exclude games with a min/max number of reviews? You can do that too. Very handy tool
