It would be nice if they fix VR for linux. It’s been broken for me ever since the 2.0 update so ofc I’m not gonna be buying more games if I can’t even play them.
Steam supports this natively. In the steam desktop client, click your profile in the top right and push “Account details” now scroll down to “PLATFORM PREFERENCES” and uncheck windows.
I think it’ll be really difficult, if not impossible, to hide all Windows-only games, as I believe Steam will still show Deck-verified games and other games that run on Proton well. ProtonDB lets you exclude Linux-native games, so if they have that information, there may be another service somewhere that lets you filter to only include native games, but I don’t know of one.
“Problem” is that since the Steam Deck came out thousands of games have been verified to be officially supported. Most of them Windows native.
Plus, for many Linux native games (like the new Tomb Raiders, for instance) the Windows version under Proton actually runs better. I think it’s mostly due to the Linux version often being done by an external developers and their contracts running out, while the Windows version is still getting updates.
I’d like to see how this compares to other solutions like Virtual Desktop. If it’s more performative, I’ll go for it. I can’t imagine there will be a big difference.
I dunno but those games will be stored somewhere on your filesystem. It will probably show you where in your settings. Fine the .exe and right click it.
Fix the hover drop downs (from library or store buttons at the top) to not appear over other apps.
I think this is a Linux only issue but when I’m not even tabbed into the steam launcher and accidentally move my mouse over one of those buttons at the top it shows the dropdown over my currently focused app :/
Lutris integrates with itch.io these days, I haven’t used it extensively but it seems robust enough. It should also support your local DRM free games and whatnot.
If it’s not a game you can redeem through Steam, then install through desktop mode and add it to your list of games in Steam (add non-steam game). That will let you access it through the normal Steam OS
