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.

For resolutions, a suggestion for next survey: an other checkbox allowing people to enter their own :-).

Also, noticed there are a select few other AMD CPU people out their :-) - Although I must confess, I have an Nvidia GPU, so I'm AMD/Nvidia.. sorry guys!

Missing resolution: 5760x1080 ^^

Is that seriously your resolution?

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

1366x768 is there, 1600x900 has been added for next month.

I went based on what Nvidia control panel lets me change mine to, so if it's not there it's not on my personal list, but I will of course keep adding to it.

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.

Added for next month.

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.

I don't really get how people would be confused by that, but I've changed it anyway.

Last month I switched from Debian Openbox to SteamOS on the desktop PC. SteamOS on a desktop PC is a little quirky, but overall it's been a positive experience. My current plan is to roll down my old gaming PC to Debian Openbox and having two PCs side-by-side: one for gaming and one for the desktop tasks.

LOL, I'm sure it is as that's my gaming resolution as well. We play games spanned across 3 1080p monitors.

Voted. :-).

I'll be the one person in the world still using an AMD CPU in the survey :-P.

For now. We can always hope that this year's new 'Zen' CPUs put a bit more competition in the market... :)

"Did you buy a Steam Machine?"

^ Um.... Aghmmm! The Brix Pro is technically a steam machine. By that account I kinda, sorta, have bought it and installed SteamOS on it, does that count? if so, add one Yes to that question and substract the No!

Politically KDE is the company, technically it's the DE.
