Any way to break down that “Other” and see what it contains?

No, not without lobbying Valve.

there might be some more Ubuntu versions hiding in there.

Certainly because non-LTS versions are not in the main table as well but neither are Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, NixOS, etc.

I looked at the August 2024 results and SteamOS was not mentioned anywhere in the OS version section.

Probably because everybody with a Steam Desk shows up as Arch in the survey.

Had you looked up the current stats, you would have known that this is completely false. SteamOS is in massive lead and I used the phrase "general purpose distribution" for a reason.

Latest non-LTS Ubuntu could be high up the Steam Survey list but isn't. The strongest general purpose distribution is Arch Linux.

Interesting how the numbers between "computer pros" and hobbyists (Steam Survey) diverge. Unsurprisingly for Steam gamers the Windows numbers are way higher but for Linux specifically Ubuntu is crashing hard since a few years from absolute domination to all Ubuntu versions + derivatives (Mint + pop_OS) combined barely making up 20% of the Linux user base whereas at Stack Overflow there's a clear lead of Ubuntu over the rest.

Everyone on the internet is free to go and use any other service.

Yes but that's not the claim you made. You wrote "It’s their private website, they do on it whatever they want. Right, lemmy?" and this blanket statement is wrong. They can't to "whatever they want" because they are bound by laws. If Google/Alphabet instituted rules on YouTube that competing video services like Nebula cannot named at all, market watchdogs would be at their heels immediately and they'd win in court if it came to it.

Can they put ads on pause screens? Yes. Can they do "whatever they want"? No.

the same as apple maps i believe

Apple only uses OSM in specific areas.

This community was essentially unmoderated for a while and I've been recently approached to take over moderation duties here. What I don't intend to do is to change any existing rules here but to enforce what has piled up in the moderation queue.

The discussion under the recent post about spam accounts turned into a flamewar regarding US domestic politics which has literally nothing to do with the Fediverse.

With dozens of comments, I don't have the bandwidth to sift through them individually and I've locked the thread. The PSA about spam accounts still stands which is why I didn't remove the post. The accounts involved with that flamewar get a pass for this time. Consider this a warning. Further trolling about US political parties will result in bans.
