First off, dive into Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck. Then, pop open a terminal window. You gotta install Protontricks itself by typing this magic spell: 'python3 -m pip install protontricks'. After it's installed, find your game's AppID (that's the Steam game number). Launch Protontricks with it by typing 'protontricks [AppID] [command]' and voilà, you're the wizard now, tweaking your game's settings with ease!

Honestly, just stick to the default settings on your Steam Deck. Protontricks is cool for the tech wizards, but if you're not trying to fix something that's already broken, why complicate your life? The Steam Deck's pretty awesome right out of the box.

For those who've felt the pain of compatibility issues, Protontricks is a lifesaver. Used it to fix some stubborn games on my Steam Deck. After you've got it installed (see the install command in another comment), using it is pretty straightforward. The real trick is finding the right tweaks for each game, but there are plenty of forums and guides online to help with that.
