What is unknown? Various Unix variants? Custom embedded operating systems ( does that count as desktop?)?

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.
