Check out our Monthly Survey Page to see what our users are running.
We do often include affiliate links to earn us some pennies. See more here.

This is your once a month reminder to make sure your PC information is correct on your user profiles. A fresh batch of statistics is generated on the 1st of each month.

You need to be logged in to see when you last updated your PC info!

You can see the statistics any time on this page.

If you want your details to actually be included in the monthly survey, be sure to head here and tick the box labelled "Include your PC details in our Monthly User Statistics?" and hit the "Update" button at the bottom, it's opt-in and you can uncheck it at any time not to be included in future statistics gathering.

PC Info is automatically purged if it hasn't been updated, or if you don't click the link to remain in for 2 years. This way we prevent too much stale data and don't hold onto your data for longer than required. To be clear though, no personal information (no user ID, no IP, nothing like that) is stored when generating the charts.

Also, we recently fixed up the trend charts, enjoy! We will look to add the ability to select the time period you wish to view the trend charts over as well.

The average gol user is making my computer look pretty wimpy ><

Hey at least you are not a party of one in the statistics, go look at the number of K2000M's in the statistics. I really need to come up with some money to get a new laptop.

Thanks for showing trends without empty periods!

One feature stopped working now though. Before the legend was clickable, and you could toggle graphs to see only a subset. Now it's not working anymore.

Also, one suggestion. It would be useful in trends to show total number of users, not just percentages. That will give an idea how big is the dataset.

What I would like to see are some Wayland numbers.

Yep, that's an interesting metric. I was trying to use it recently, but KWin Wayland session keeps segfaulting, which is possibly related to amdgpu DisplayPort bugs. Does it ever work for you over DisplayPort?

Looks like 5.13.3 improves some things. I'm still on 5.13.2.

At which point is Kwin segfaulting for you? Is it really Kwin or maybe only Plasma? Because if that is the case, you should be able to click ALT + SPACE or ALT + F2 to kill and restart plasma.

The session fails right on start and falls back into sddm. I'm not even sure it's KWin. I tried catching it with gdb, but it didn't work. See here:

Sorry it took so long, does look much better fixed :)

The click to hide will be restored, when I can wrestle chart.js to give me that functionality with an external legend, no luck so far.

Will also look into total numbers too for you.

4K DCI is missing also (4096 × 2160)

Just for the record, on my systems I use AMDGPU, AMDGPU.DC=1 and only mesamodesetting drivers.

amdgpu.dc is always active for Vega.

In your bug report you've mentioned issues with booting straight to SDDM already. I think the hint of Martin could be right, your DRM backend has issues. I had something similar when using mesa-git link. It could be that llvm-libs are updated after building mesa, I don't use Debian testing anymore, so not sure how the quality is these days...

Yep, it's something to do with amdgpu I suppose. So I'm waiting for some feedback from AMD / Mesa developers.

The upward trend for AMD on both CPU and GPU is interesting to see. Also, looks like I'll need a RAM upgrade soon. :-p

Yes. I just wondered why there are still ~7% using the proprietary driver from AMD. Does it still provide any benefit?

As far I can tell, I only see benefits for OpenCL and maybe on some games with Vulkan (but you'll end up with less game support in the latter). Anyway, you can have Mesa OpenGL implementation living along with AMDGPU-PRO OpenCL implementation (and probably with AMDGPU-PRO Vulkan too, but never tried that...).
