Bluefin (and probably other Fedora-based distros) not giving correct OS name to Steam #1768

Describe the bug

Discovered it while trying to fetch my system info from Steam and pasting it into ProtonDB for contributing. Steam recognizes Bluefin as "Freedesktop SDK 23.08 (Flatpak runtime)" which is very misleading. Other distros show their names just fine, and neofetch also shows Bluefin correctly.

What's shocking is that upon looking at the Steam Hardware Survey, "Freedesktop SDK 23.08 (Flatpak runtime)" is there at the 3rd spot, which makes me realize that it's actually Fedora/Fedora-based distros on that spot.

What did you expect to happen?

It should be the same as neofetch's second entry; in my case it's "Bluefin Archaeopteryx 39 (Silverblue) x86_64".

At the moment, Flatpak installations of Steam reporting the Flatpak runtime as the operating system is normal behavior that affects all distros. It just happens to be the case that atomic Fedora spins tend to encourage users to install Steam as a Flatpak, reducing their presence on the Steam hardware survey.
