This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What is unknown? Various Unix variants? Custom embedded operating systems ( does that count as desktop?)?
maybe browsers that obfuscate that information
Me, changing my user agent to "Browser McBrowserFace"
I know this is probably a joke, but don't do that. It gives you a unique fingerprint.
So I've looked into the yearly stats and macOS stats and the fact that they call it OS X and the macOS version stats only go up to Catalina (the last 10.x, released in 2019) makes me believe most of these are macOS 11+ users.
Things like Haiku (or BeOS), ReactOS, ArcaOS, AmigaOS etc.
I don't think they do but maybe they're also counting type 1 hypervisors.
Edit: Nevermind, I thought they bundled in "Other" into that category; they didn't, as evident by the chart below the stats which includes "Other".
It's probably just the case of they couldn't determine the OS being used.
