# What Steam shows in its System settings: the OS name (`lsb_release -d`:
# DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION in /etc/lsb-release) and Steamify as the OS variant and
# version (os-release's VARIANT/VERSION_ID; its NAME and PRETTY_NAME stay
# CachyOS's, which limine-snapper-sync finds the boot entries by).
# cachyos-hooks resets lsb-release on updates, so our hook sets it again.
# What Steam shows in its System settings besides the OS name (which stays
# CachyOS's, for legal clarity and because limine-snapper-sync finds the boot
# entries by it): Steamify as the variant and version, the SteamOS release it
