"Unknown" is browsers blocking trackers from identifying them. So mostly Linux and some people running Firefox with blockers on other systems.

"Windows" is Windows users and also many Linux users who changed their bowser's user agent to circumvent sites that sabotage browsers on Linux for no reason.

"ChromeOS" is -again- Linux as it's based on open ChromiumOS which is derived from Gentoo. (And Google is planning to switch to Android soon... which is again running on top of Linux.)

Old unsupported versions of Windows (and sometimes Windows Server?) may also be included in "unknown".
