Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

Quoting: eridanired123Apparently [bRyzen has been a success for AMD[/b], trends show that users are slowly changing their preferences (very slowly). In the GPU department, behaviour is quite similar. Screw you nVidia!

I expect AMD GPUs adoption rate to accelerate next year, if AMD will sort out availability issues. Mesa is close to getting ahead of Nvidia blob in most aspects (Vulkan still needs stronger push).

I didn't even know the strange Steam Controller is that popular.

Xbox 360? Okay, got it, seems like the standard PC controller even though I don't like it and use dual shock instead. But really, Steam Controller? I can't get used to that piece of hardware...

Another suggestion - in the trends, it would be useful to show total number of users in the tooltip for each point. Otherwise it's quite hard to evaluate what percentage really represents.

For most games, you can use it without even touching the touch pads (not for twin-stick shooters, obviously). I do like these, though, they gave me a better feeling for the mouse cursor in the first second than I ever had from any laptop touchpad.

The only imperfection of Steam Controller for me is it's big size.

Should I say "never" if it was over 5 years ago?

I'd say more than a year qualifies as "I never use it".

Well... changing to "never" then.

Quoting: Shmerl@liamdawe: in the trends section, color bars above the graphs (map) are a bit hard to read, because they just show a thin color outline around a gray rectangle. It would be way more readable as solid color.

This has now been sorted, thanks.

Quoting: HamishSo am I letting the side down then by having a more than five year old rig that uses a ton of second hand parts?

First, I want to second Liam, this is not a pissing contest by any stretch. Second, years old tech is hardly outdated let alone something to think of as "letting down" the Linux community. Even in the Windows space of three years ago, when I stopped duel booting and went 100% Linux, my PC (mostly in service since 2010 and not exactly high tier tech when I bought it*) was still solidly capable for both gaming and core productivity using both FOSS and proprietary tools.
