Note: Changelog at bottom.
I have done some more work on the user statistics page tonight. I have now included an option to pick your resolution.
Please update your profile (scroll to the bottom) to pick your resolution. If you didn't see the comments on the previous article, you can now hide your details so it won't appear on your profiles at all (so your details will be properly anonymous).
I am continuing to developing it even if I don't talk about it on GOL much (Levi will back me up with git logs!). You can also follow my coding failures on Twitter if you desire.
Today I have refactored the stats generation and the actual page that displays it to make it much easier for me to add in new graphs. This took a while to get right, but it means I can add new graphs if I want to/if the community want them a lot faster than before.
I have also done some back-end changes to make managing the graphs easier. Not quite where I want it yet, but getting closer.
It may seem slow, but it's getting there. It may be in a state soon where I can set it up to regenerate the graphs automatically. The code is there, but I am doing it manually until it's at a point where I'm happy for it to be done automatically. Once that is done I will enable people to pick previous graphs to display and we can talk about them more!
I have as suggested changed the order on the RAM graph to go from lowest to highest RAM, instead of being sorted by total users. I think it makes more sense after thinking on it as it looks more naturally structured for reading it.
Once I am happy for it to automatically generate, I will work on the actual survey page to allow more specific gaming questions and for people who don't have accounts here on GOL to participate in it too.
I will do a regeneration soon when more people have added their resolutions, I did a quick one just now so the stats page is up to date right now.
I have to say though, I do love the stats page. I am really surprised at just how many Arch users we have visiting us, wow!
If you have more suggestions for it then fire away in the comments, would love to know what features you would find useful on it.
If you like what I do with GOL, please consider supporting me on Patreon. If not, no worries I love what I do!
Ps. Sorry for the downtime tonight, totally my fault, big thanks to Levi our awesome server admin for fixing up my misshap.

Lead by example, Liam and update your profile first.
EDIT: Wait, it just doesn't show up in the info box.

I noticed that the Distribution on the profile page is in the "Personal profile" area. Doesn't really fit there. Should be moved to "Computer info".

Updated. Wow I am surprised about the number of Arch users. I was led to believe by various users on different forums that it wasn't a very popular Distro due to it being harder to get the hang of. Maybe the news was wrong.

My mom uses arch, my brother uses arch, my wife uses arch, my moms office uses arch, I use arch, our laptops are arch and our Sofa Samsung TV uses arch too.
Make a install guide to expedite future arch installs, rolling release is the shiznit.

In the name of feature creep, have you thought about writing a script to gather system info and then uploads it to user profile info?
I already run my own bash script on startup which verifies the number of CPU cores and total memory in GBs hasn't changed so I imagine it can't be much harder to gather everything else.

How about adding an option if the user has a VR headset and also which type (incl. non-linux like Occulus or Daydream to show general interest). Just for future reference regarding VR support on Linux.

Heh, does resolution get multiplied by the number of monitors you have? 'cause I've got two…though, I guess it would be difficult to account for people with multiple monitors with different resolutions.
(Tongue in cheek, in case it wasn't clear. :)

My situation with resolution is a bit complicated: I use a laptop, which has screen 1366x768. But when at home I attach an external monitor, which has 1920x1080. But when playing games on this external monitor I sometimes set the resolution to 1280x720 to get more FPS. (on my profile I selected 1920x1080 as my main gaming resolution)

I have 2 monitors with different resolutions , one in 2160p and a second one in 1200p. So maybe have a choice for a different resolution for each monitor ?

I think it should be "resolution of primary screen". Or even better the resolution you usually play games in. The resolution of all your monitors combined or a list of multiple resolutions isn't very useful. Most games don't even support multi-monitor stuff, and those that do already have to take this into account. And I'm assuming here that the purpose of these stats isn't bragging rights but the collection of useful information about the systems we use for gaming? So ultra-wide 21:9 resolutions are okay, but anything spanning multiple monitors is irrelevant.

I started with Arch Wiki, now I have a 60 page arch install guide including all optional configurations to optimize my deployments. I've since created Arch LAMP guides, and a Arch Clone guide which is neat.
Arch Wiki is the place where Linux Admins are born imo ;)
