[News] ProtonDB updated to have separate tabs for Steam Deck and PC reports (www.gamingonlinux.com)

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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

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.

When the Steam Deck released ProtonDB added dedicated Steam Deck reports to game pages, which ended up making it quite a mess - especially for PC players where every page would have you scroll and scroll until you go to the desktop Linux reports — but no more!

There is now a tabbed submenu above reports on game pages.

In this menu, you can now filter by PC, Steam Deck, or a combined list.

When you select an item in the device submenu, the URL is updated and can be shared to send someone directly to reports corresponding to your selection.
