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 Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

You're right, was left in from the old survey, it's a window manager. Removed.

Well you could rename it to Desktop Environment/Window Manager and include i3 (or at least make an option to say "only window manager")

Should someone using only a window manager like i3 leave this field blank or select "not listed"?
Someone pointed out during one of the surveys that if you're using only a window manager you should go with "None" on that question. Maybe it would be a good idea to have that option here too. Maybe it could be listed as "None (or window manager only)" with parenthesis just so there is no confusion.

I also think window managers should have their own picker. And something needs to be done with audio. Like audio subsystem (ALSA/PulseAudio), number of channels (2.0, 2.1, 5.1, 7.1, headphones), soundcard variant (integrated, PCI, USB), maybe something else.

You should still leave something so that we can pick i3 (like Desktop Environment/Window Manager) I think. Otherwise, what should we choose ?

What about BPM for SteamOS?
WorMzy Jun 26, 2016
A 'none' option would be great for WM-only users. :)
Liam Dawe Jun 26, 2016
Sure, have added in a "Window Manager Only" option to settle that.

Isn't the "View PC info" supposed to show on the forum posts too ?
