As a PC gamer without a Steam Deck, this is a welcome enhancement.

As a Steam Deck gamer without a PC, I concur.

I had this issue a few days ago checking if RDR2 was playable. I'm on PC and I don't own a Steam Deck. I had to scroll through SO many SD reports I thought to myself, "Damn being able to filter these out would be really nice".

I'm glad to see my wish come true :>

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.
