If you would be so kind as to update your PC Info once again, there is now a Desktop Environment picker as requested.
The place to update your PC Info has also been moved, it has it's own section on the UserCP now (links on the right hand side). It was getting a bit long and cramping up the main control panel page, so it's more fitting for it to have its own section.
I don't think we have any other major things left from the old survey, so eventually I can begin creating the survey page for users and non-registered GOL users to fill out and submit to be entered into it. It will have pre-filled fields for registered users + extra fields for unique questions.
Once that is ready, I can then have the graphs be auto generated once a month or so automatically (code already prepared to do that).
I've done a few other minor things behind the scenes towards making it pick things up better so it should be more stable too.
See the current stats page here. The new graph will not show up until I have done a new generation once enough people have had time to pick their desktop.
Now is a good time again to voice your requests for the page. I have implemented pretty much all requests from last time that I can remember seeing.
Things already planned:
- Picking a previous date
- Comparing dates
- Add view pc info link to forum posts

Quoting: MohandevirWhat about BPM for SteamOS?That's not really a desktop environment, it's literally just Big Picture Mode being run almost by itself.

Done and done. One of these days I have to try different environments. I have only ever used Cinnamon with my Mint. I haven't tried Mate or KDE yet.

I've used GNOME, KDE, Awesome, and MATE each for extended periods; but I keep coming back to XFCE + Openbox; by far the most sensible setup for my needs.

Quoting: AimelaYeah but this way we could know who's running desktop Linux and who's using a Steam Machine.Quoting: MohandevirWhat about BPM for SteamOS?That's not really a desktop environment, it's literally just Big Picture Mode being run almost by itself.
Steam Machine adopters are not going to switch to Linux just because they use SteamOS on their ConsolePC... they will most probably stay with Windows or Mac or whatever OS they used before.
IMO it's important to know how many people use BPM exclusively since they get a whole different experience.

Quoting: HalifaxKDE Plasma 4 in Debian 8.4 "Jessie" is the only DE worth using. Why, oh why, did Plasma 5 have to suffer a group brainfart and think "streamlining" the goodness of Oxygen down to the devolved Breeze theme was a way forward? X-)
I'm in the process of leaving KDE due to it's state in Debian testing. Has KDE become that bad or is it just the testing state?

Quoting: ElectricPrismWould it be better to say Desktop Shell instead of Desktop Environment or Window Manager? Does it communicate better what it is?Desktop Environment is the more widely accepted and used term. Desktop Shell sounds confusing.
