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

    Probably the same thing a lot of people myself included take out of Linux

    It’s far nicer to use than windows if you’re technical, and also it’s different

      I get that, but having a permissive license is what would most definitely turn me off about contributing to the project.

      And I also read somewhere (don’t know if this is true or not) that a large portion of BSD devs actually use Macs as their daily drivers.

        Doesn’t surprise me, I don’t think they really expected it to be used on the desktop

          That would kill my enthusiasm to be honest… but whatever, each to his own 🤷.
