A bit fun that the "other" category is so large. Wonder what percentage Fedora is at.

You can install steam on Fedora using an RPM repository. But everyone using the Steam Flatpak will show up as Freedesktop SDK, no matter the distribution. For Fedora-based gaming distributions such as Bazzite, this is the default way to use Steam.

Yep, that's me in there. I'm a Fedora KDE + Flatpak user.

[–] sigurdtheone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeh thats probably the reasoning. Its relatively simple for most users to just install via Flatpack in the GUI.

Not too surprising considering the sheer amount of distros out there.
