@eeee Anything with SMB/CIFS is considered as a PC on macOS, I have a Raspberry Pi which also is displayed like this. I can test other sharing protocols of you have sth in mind :)
TBH I feel Apple would show something like this for Linux users with this attitude of theirs: -
Lennerd5587y@eeee, @DRSDavidSoft I don't think that's entirely true as my Linux server with SMB enabled shows up as a Mac, but then my Raspberry Pi shows up as PC

@XiovV Your phone and gaming console are also PCs. Everything that's not meant for public use, and can compute things, is a personal computer.

Kaji20977y@XiovV “Personal Computer” is a trademarked marketing term belonging to IBM. Hence, while the form factors and market segments largely converge, PC == Microsoft remains largely accurate.

The architectures are the same for like 20 years now and they still insist on calling anything not Mac a "PC". As if Macs were carved from an alien technology.
