This is just a mid-month reminder for all those who missed our survey this month or haven’t got round to filling it in yet.
You can find this month’s questionnaire here. Please make sure you haven't filled this month's in already, if in doubt check if the unique questions seem familiar ;).
Please remember that the questions are in relation to your activity last month, so you should leave any distro/hardware changes you made this month for the next survey.
Also if you have already filled it out this month then thank you and there’s no need for you to do it again.
You can find the data from last month here (with fancy new graphs) and results for Steam’s hardware survey here.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
I think I did when you announced the results of the previous one
Is there a problem that not enough people filled it in? Maybe you should ask that we share the survey with fellow linux users?
Yes, the numbers have dropped a bit this month and at the rate it was going, I don't think we'll make the 1000 responses I'd like to get for a good sample size. The problem is that with the new site layout, we lost the reminder on the carousel so need to think of new ways to remind people to fill it in.
I'm considering other options. One could be to have a permalink to an article (say gamingonlinux.com/survey) with all previous results there and a link to the current survey - would have to work out the best way of doing that and see if Liam is up for it.
For now I think the best way to avoid confusion is by looking at the "unique questions" - if they seem familiar then youi have probably already filled it in.
Also, YES please do share the survey :)
EDIT: Added the suggestion to check the unique questions before filling in to avoid duplicates.
An email is a nice way, or simply i.p logging or anything really that might be the same each time, as we will do reminders (reminders are good).
You should do this every month ^^
Google Forms provides the email address option, which I don't mind doing if people are OK with that but I just get the feeling a lot of people won't do it if it means logging in so it defeats the purpose a bit. The IP logging would be ideal, but Google Forms hasn't got that feature and doing a quick scan around the web it seems that a lot of other people want that feature too.
I think I might need to consider migrating the survey over to some other software. I'll put out a call for some suggestions when I post the next results.
Edit > I guess one day I should whip up a quick GOL Survey feature so we don't even need to use outside stuffs. I need to implement our basic poll feature for articles first though I think.
