If the majority of a users playtime at the time of review was from playing on Deck, the review will have a Deck icon next to it.

The game in the screenshot is SAND LAND. You can view the reviews here to easily see some examples of this new icon.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to filter reviews to show Deck reviews only.

The application yes, but the programmer? That requires network, api and a sent packet or more.

Just because you run a binary doesn't mean a server across the Internet knows you.

Users though, disregard my advice. Assume what you run is running foreign remote code that could encrypt and ransom you.

Oh I super agree with you! The question was “does Steam know what your hardware is without consenting to a survey” and the answer is “yes absolutely Steam does!”

Also your last paragraph? I know software and I think you’re too lenient hahahaha

I don’t even use phone apps unless they have almost zero permissions.
