Valve released a Steam Beta update to bring in some tweaks to the shopping cart, and finally allowing you to properly set certain games as private so no one can snoop on your gaming habits.
For the shopping cart there's these new features:
The private feature isn't just for when purchasing though. You can also, once updated, set individual games as private so they will disappear for everyone else. That includes hiding your ownership, in-game status, playtime, and activity in that game. At last, you can finally enjoy all your naughty games in total peace.
All you have to do is right click -> manage -> mark as private in your Steam Library. Either in the games list, or on the bigger box-art pictures in the main part of your library.
You can do the same on Steam Deck if you're in the beta. Just go into the properties -> manage -> mark as private on any game in your library anywhere:

Well why would you care about privacy if you haven't got kinks to hide? Why do we even have stuff like the GDPR here in the EU? The Linux pervert cabal has a lot of lobbying power here I suppose.
That makes me wonder: Am I automatically a member or the penguin cabal or do I have to apply somehow? Maybe I could find out on social media, but I was always too privacy-conscious to have an account... What a dilemma.

You become an automatic "Basic" tier member by simply installing Linux.
But there is the "Advanced" tier which you can join. To do so, you must first install Arch Linux with i3 Window Manager. Set an anime based wallpaper and finally, post a screenshot titled "I did it!" with a terminal window open showing your neofetch.
Spoiler, click me
(Sorry arch guys, I'm just kidding!)
