Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.
I am using an official build obtained from releases or updated one of those builds using its in-app updater.

Describe the Bug

It seems that if there is no report for the game for the desired platform, it takes information from another report.

I launched the emulator on the Steam Deck, turned on the compatibility database, saw that the game "Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure" has the status "Playable",
I launch the game and the game does not start, I saw in the log that there is an error "[Debug] Critical".
I clicked on the status to view the report and was redirected to the Windows report page (instead of Linux).
I looked through the compatibility database and found that there is only one report, and it is for the Windows platform.
Therefore, for the Linux platform, the status should be different and be "Unknown" so as not to confuse users.

This may be a problem for all statuses and platforms, but I can't say for sure.

Reproduction Steps

Last Nightly. Run the game on a different operating system.

Expected Behavior

No response

Specify OS Version

SteamOS

Because the rules for now is that if there is no status report for the OS, it will try to find a report for an another OS. Only there is no report it will put nothing.
We can debate about this.
Maybe can be better to put Untested for this OS instead of now

The fact of the matter is that for untested games for which there is no report, we set the status to "Unknown".

That's why I didn't understand why the status from another operating system was used.

i don't think using other OS reports is a good idea at least not till the emulator is in such a stable place that only emulation accuracy is the main problem.

while we are talking about how about at minimum merging different regions of the same game, since in theory a game can have 9 different issues for it, 3 OS and 3 region.
