Could have yeah, but I already find looking at distros and specs to be super helpful on ProtonDB. Of course it isn’t going to be 100%, but if every person who has a problem with a game is using a certain GPU or distro it’s usually safe to assume that something about that is causing the issue
Comment on Steam now identifies reviews that come from Steam Deck players
Telorand@reddthat.com 4 weeks agoI like the idea, but with Linux, that could be tricky. Unless it’s an immutable distro, the end user could have modifications causing issues from some borked config, library, or package.
It probably wouldn’t be especially useful info for end users, since ymmv, and Valve already knows what hardware and setups people are using via system scans.
ProtonDB is far more useful and already exists, because it includes system info and fixes people have tried that did/n’t work.

On the other hand, you have to keep your system specs up to date manually on protondb. I don’t know how many people keep their kernel and video driver versions up to date. Steam could pull the latest system configuration when I submit a review.

I was referring more to just like Windows, Linux, MacOS icons. Not specific distros. As a Windows user for instance, Linux issues from any distro probably don’t matter to me.
