How would something like FreeBSD show up on the steam end of year statistics? (lemm.ee)

Obviously nobody in their right mind is using BSD for gaming but I do wonder how it would show up

I heard there was a bsd port of steam at some point and some people got the Linux build working on it. I have to assume the Linux build would probably report as Linux unless it has some mechanism to determine operating system besides it being hard coded

Having 1% of my playtime be on BSD seems like a pretty good meme to me

Ah I see. Seems like a good theory. It can definitely tell Linux and steam deck apart as I've got both on my report (about 40/40 as of this year whoop)

Let me know how it goes though I don't think the report updates, think it's just a static snapshot

Yeah, I wouldn't do it for the report, I'm more curious about the state of gaming on FreeBSD.
