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.
Posting the required version to run the game is not trivial, as this is nothing we can just know, and it can also change with game updates. There is the Steam Deck verification information, which includes a Proton version, but this information is not reliable at all. Valve set Proton Experimental on all games that have not being tested, even on Linux native(!), so we can not take that.
However, we are thinking of changes and collecting ideas at the moment and any constructive idea and critique is welcome. My personal idea about the working Proton versions to show is to simply have a graph, showing the available proton versions with a color code, depending on the reports and their rating.

And yes, people are reporting incorrect fixes, but this is the nature of user content. And it’s impossible to curate them all, it’s way too many. But you can always report a false/dangerous report on the discord or IRC (I wish we’ve had a report button on the page).
