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.

There should be a "Do you dual-boot with any other operating systems <which one>" thing, too...
This.
I intend to purchase a virtual reality device as soon as it is financially feasible for me to do so... It'd be interesting to see how many other Linux gamers are using virtual reality, and what they're using.

Quoting: JuliusHow 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.

Quoting: liamdaweQuoting: AnxiousInfusionLead by example, Liam and update your profile first.Fixed, shows up on profiles and the info box link popup too.
EDIT: Wait, it just doesn't show up in the info box.
My resolution (3440x1440) is missing - please add :) ; my suggestion would be to put the vertical resolution and then put the format (4:3, 16:9, 21:9, ...).

Quoting: tuubiI 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.Yes I have to agree with this. I will look to adjust how it is worded on the control panel to get that point across.

Okay, 32/64bit graph added back in with adjusted wording. I'm not sure how long that graph will stick around, seems a bit pointless with the result from it :P
Adjusted the wording of the resolution question on the UserCP, it's now your main gaming resolution.
Resolutions added:
1400x1050
2560x1080
3440x1440
I have added in the dual-booting question now as well, as it's a good one to start getting some data on. You can now find it on your profiles. Will do another re-gen once a few people have answered.
Also added a nice message if a graph isn't generated yet, instead of showing a big space with an error from the class we use to generate them, just a little house-keeping that one.
Fresh generation done too.

Quoting: ZeloxCould you add a custome res?Is that a real resolution, or the res of multiple monitors counted together (which does not count unless you genuinely play all your games at that res)?

Quoting: operaI 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".You're right, left over from before this was a thing. I will look at moving it, I need to adjust the distribution stuff anyway, as even if you hide your PC details your Distro is still listed right now on profiles and comments.
