New Linux & SteamOS gamer survey for February

By -
Okay guys another month and another survey, this time I have included screen resolution to see what you lovely people are using. I will tweak the screen resolution question to include any big ones missed from the results for next time.

Find the February 2016 survey here.

As usual, you fill it in from what you did in the previous month. So, this survey is February's survey, but you fill it in from your activity in January.

You can see the results from January 2016 here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

"Did you buy a Steam Machine?"

I built four of them, does that count? And is it asking if I bought one in January or ever?

I think Firewatch is comming to Linux as well.

I am curious at what resolution people play.

No, I think it is for SteamOS Steam Machines only, e.g. the ones from Alienware, Zotac, aso.
But good point. I think we could another point like "I have build my own".

For the second point I think ever otherwise something "this month" should be added.

BTW: Would you mind to share your Builds? Maybe in the forum? Pictures if available would be great too :)

And I'm the third (AMD GPU user).

AMD rocks because their OS drivers are better than Nouveau, and their hardware is better than Intel.

I wish there was a "Same answers as last month" option that would auto-fill everything for me. Yes, I am that lazy!

Same answers as last month : that would be nice, beside the number of games, i mostly always answer the same.

Never going to happen, sorry. I might tweak things now and then, and don't want things to get broken in any way.

Don't worry, you aren't the only one.

Technically, KDE is the company (like Canonical), and the desktop environment is Plasma.

You could just change the entry to "KDE Plasma" to avoid confusing people.

Did not have my display resolution of 1400x1050, but I have only been using it since I got my new monitor a few weeks back, and I fully admit that it is kind of weird, so I really do not consider it too be much of an issue.

Outside of the really bizzare stuff, there were some fairly common resolutions missing; 1600x900, and was 1366x768 on the options?
