I eventually found the Wiki page containing this list of "Hidden Linux Ports on Steam" - It took me quite some effort to find this potentially very useful resource page.
The page is tucked away in the Wiki, here:
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/wiki/Hidden_Linux_ports_on_Steam
Then, on finding it I noticed that it hasn't seen any additions in quite some time. Just the other day, Mad Max and Shadow of Mordor were delisted as native Linux titles, and only appear to be Windows titles to casual observers in the Steam client. (Although the native Linux versions are still installable for owners of the games.)
There are plenty more hidden Linux ports on Steam, and this list seems to miss out plenty of them.
I came looking to find out if indie game Salt has a hidden native Linux port or not. Some comment on ProtonDB suggests that it might.
It would be great if people could update this page, and it would also be good if it was *a lot* easier to find too. I was expecting I'd find a list of 50 odd titles here, rather than less than 10.
Okay, bye for now.
also Alyx doesn't have a hidden linux port?

Yes it does, it's not advertised.
I've added a couple more today.
yes please, as a matter of fact I might have something else to contribute to the wiki about my navi hardware.
I have Prey 2006 on steam and it's linux native. Keys were limited I think so u cannot buy it anymore, unlike Dirt Showdown that u can buy it in some key retailers. (Maybe if you look in ebay u can find a Prey 2006 key).Anyway what I'm trying to say it's if completely delisted games from the steam store qualify as "Hidden Linux Ports", because some of them you can still get keys in some uncoventional stores. So if we are including "delisted natives linux", I don't see the reason why completely delisted games don't fall in the same category, if there's a linux depot and u can actually install the game (it's pretty much the same).
EDIT: I guess you are right TimeFreeze, Prey 2006....it is not Linux native, just downloaded to check; I don't know why I thought it was.

I meant that this part of the GoL site had become redundant and needs to be updated to stay relevant. I was disappointed that the GoL community had not been updating it - Yes, I know I could contribute myself, but I'm a single person out of thousands.
Also, I knew the Hidden Ports bit existed, but it wasn't easy for me to locate it. I had expected a direct link on the top menus, rather than to click on Wiki and then hunt through the Wiki. (Once you're in the Wiki it is easy to spot.)
