Please add option to hide non-linux games from the store.

[adsche]

The landing page has improved a lot in showing many linux games, and I appreciate that. However, this is the landing page right now:

As you can see, two thirds of the space is dedicated to windows games. Moreover, you can't see that they are windows games unless you click them. That's pretty annoying.

So, especially since you don't seem to plan on allowing to even just download them (#74, #1989, et al.), I suggest not showing windows games, at least optionally. Thank you!

Please put this is an option in setting menu, so we can disable/enable it! (on OSX too)

I use mainly linux/osx, and windows for gaming, i want to be able to search/purchase games from linux without having to click everywhere

EDIT: i was talking about the 'News' 'Popular' 'Promo' sections, i all the time have to click on see more and untick 'OSX only' wich is annoying... i all the time miss new titles or promos

Linux-only games should be the default view and/or an option should be available to make it the normal view. Things instead have gotten even worse. Now, in the tabbed section at the bottom of the front Steam page in the client, all tabs include games that aren't on Linux yet, and the "Popular New Releases" and "All New Releases" buttons both take me to a search page with Linux unchecked, and both Mac and Windows checked, the exact opposite of what it should be.

Steam is great

But their desktop client, and store is the worst thing ever created

it's not as bad. this is the only gaming application/store which has massive presence on Linux.

a filter button at the top of the page would be enough. a list in the Library would be also good on all platform (Linux version already has an option for it, but other platforms not).

I have this same issue and it needs to be fixed. It's completely unacceptable to display games on a store when the user cannot play them.

So Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II just got ported to Linux yet because of the store currently works, there's not a single place at all that lets Linux customers know this. It's not mentioned anywhere at all, and were I not frequently reading Phoronix, I wouldn't have known about this at all. The game is ported by another developer who didn't originally create the game. Is it really fair to them to not at all give them any recognition whatsoever?

[ghost]

Well to be fair usually the box at the top that automatically switches to different games will show games there that are new for Linux but not new for all platforms. It wasn't listed as the first game, but it was in there among the other games, so it is at least being "advertised" there in that way. Still though I agree that it could be much more pronounced. Hopefully with this big Steam UI overhaul coming out they will correct this among other issues.

Usually, yeah. But in the case of Warhammer 40k, I've not yet seen it there, and I check the frontpage several times a day. One can hope the overhaul fixes things, but considering they recently broke the queue after adding the "customization" option, I fear it won't.

It appears that Valve has fixed this issue for Steam for Linux clients. However, unfortunately, I still see non-Linux games when using a web browser. Additionally, I'd also like to not see non-Linux games when I'm booted into Windows. The problem is therefore not completely fixed. I'd like to be able to use anything to browse the store worry-free, I want to be able to hide non-Linux games on an account-wide scale.
