Would it be possible to add some filters in Ansible Galaxy to browse by OS.

You have to click through to each role to discover that it’s not suitable for your platform.

It needn’t be on by default, but it would be a good option.

I agree this would be useful.

We have a list of features to add to Galaxy in the future - though currently we’re prioritizing development on the main project instead.

Look for some upgrades in the coming months.
