I wonder how this works if you have two or more PCs or write reviews from a non-gaming device.

Like a gaming laptop running windows and a gaming desktop running Linux but you write the review from your phone.

Best option is probably that they report the specs on the pc you played the most hours with for that game. Not sure if they currently track that though

You likely have the option only on pc and the specs from the current device.

That doesn't answer the question? Let's say you have two PCs, or a laptop and a Steam Deck. You play on one device, but usually write your reviews on the main PC at home in example. Which would have different specs.

I never claimed to definitively answer, only to speculate. Was that a worthwhile contribution ? Maybe not.

Good question. Because I would play on Steam Deck, but write a review on my PC. Maybe this could be done with profiles or something like that? But it would vastly complicate things for most people.
