How to hide Windows only games in the Steam Store (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone,

I would like to hide games that only support Windows, as I'll never buy any of those games.

Is there a simple way to do that? I found a checkbox in my account settings but it doesn't seem to have much effects.

Thank you very much and happy gaming

"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.
