Serious question, are linux users just as likely to share there system specs for corporate stats?
Its also the platform for privacy enthusiasts so i think not meaning the actual number is higher then measured.

Could go either way.
I ALWAYS share my stats for the steam surveys, because higher Linux market share = better Linux support

Depends who we share with. Steam yes Google no.

Surely there is no way to install steam on linux and download stuff off that installation without revealing that you are doing it on a linux machine. I mean you are either requesting a linux build of the game from their server or you are downloading some wine/proton components or configurations. Right?

The info from the Steam Hardware Survey is collected on an opt-in basis. I’m sure Valve has plenty of ways to get this information otherwise, but this specific data set requires acceptance of the terms of the survey.
