ProtonDB now has filters for PC and Steam Deck reports
www.gamingonlinux.com
ProtonDB is the go-to for a lot of people to see how games run on Linux desktop and Steam Deck, and while its rating system is far from perfect it's nice to have. A recent upgrade also makes it a lot nicer to browse.

ProtonDB now has separate tabs for easier browsing of Steam Deck or PC reports. You can also view a combined tab that includes reports from both.

Both categories can be pretty useful, but some game fixes can only be found in the PC section. A lot of the PC report creators are more experienced Linux users and know of fixes that may not show up in the Steam Deck section.

    The overall design isn’t terrible imo, but the previous system of having Deck reports stacked on top of PC reports was really poor.

      Even the owner of the site has admitted he wouldn’t use that rating system if he did it all over again. It’s terrible. “Gold” is wildly variable. Check out Grand Theft Auto V. Hundreds of people having often game breaking issues, yet it’s rated “Gold.” Even “Platinum” games frequently require tweaks and experience issues. Whoever is in charge of rating, or whatever the algorithm, is misleadingly optimistic.
