Game mode Library tab customization and Collections as tabs

[ITNoetic]

I've been a Steam Deck user from close to the beginning, and the entire time, I have had these Great on Deck and All Games tabs that I never use.

Great on Deck is pointless because most games marked unsupported and similar actually work just fine. All Games is pointless because it doesn't show All Games, it shows All Games Purchased via Steam. There is also the soundtracks tab which was added eventually, as something for me to accidentally reach when I double press trying to get to the Non-Steam tab. But I never want to see the Soundtracks tab. If I'm listening to a soundtrack, it is via a better channel than Steam, always.

A few days ago, I realized that I could convert the Collections tab into the true All Games tab that I wanted, where it shows all of my currently-installed Steam games as well as all of the non-Steam game shortcuts that I painstakingly set up over the years.

Yes, a few days ago. Up until then, I have simply tolerated always having two different tabs to look at when picking a game to play. Now, they all show up under the same tab, the way it should've been from day 1.

The way it could be if we were able to decide for ourselves what a given tab shows. Or what tabs are even available.

If I had the option, my Library view in game mode would have exactly two tabs: All Games (showing every game I currently have installed, both Steam and Non-Steam), and Collections for when I want to drill down into one category. Instead, I have 6 tabs, despite now literally only having a use case for one of them (Collections, which, as I said before, gives me access to the All Games collection I made that I wish was its own tab).

By the way, to create that collection, I had to switch to desktop mode, expand all the collections, click the topmost game in my library, shift-click the bottom-most game, then right-clicked and added them all to a new collection called All Games. It sucks that I'll have to repeat this every time I buy a new game or install a new non-steam game.

I'm surprised folks at Valve didn't use apps like Playnite to drive what the desired user experience would be for library management
