People who used Linux and Windows would notice they would get prompted for the hardware survey the moment they sign into steam on Windows because the system had randomly picked them but the prompt didn’t appear in Linux. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/2286 It was a known issue that was fixed around 2018. It’s why most steam data for Linux was thrown away in 2018.
