Steam store updated, Valve still haven't fixed filtering to only Linux games on the homepage

Valve have updated Steam as promised with a fresh homepage, but they still haven't fixed it so when you select to only see Linux games, that you really do only see Linux games.

On the featured slider, there's now a dropdown menu if you hover over the tiny icon which leads to a preferences page where this sits at the bottom:


As you can see, mine is clearly set, but what's this on the Steam homepage for me:

That's right, the option still doesn't bloody work. Other Windows-only games are also featured for me, which is frustrating as Linux gamer.

It really does worry me that Valve can't get such basic filtering to work. It's yet another simple little thing that affects Linux/SteamOS. I guess we have to keep waiting for someone at Valve to bother to fix it for us.

They have expanded some of the options in the left-hand menu, like storing links to recently visited titles. That's actually quite nice, as I often hop between games:


They have also made other lists on their homepage a bit smarter, like filtering out games you already own from new popular new releases, or previously marked as not interested by you. The normal pages don't filter them out though of course, this is just the homepage.

See the Valve news update on it here, for the full rundown of the new look for Steam.

I'm going to be honest, I rarely need or even feel the need to scroll down on Steam's homepage to bother with any of this, do you? It looks pretty crammed and messy. I generally only need to view the newly released or upcoming lists, the rest is just noise to me.
