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

Any chance we can change the question "When was the last time you used Wine to play a Windows game?" to use a checkbox for "In the last month" and let the system calculate the rest? Possibly with a dropdown for when the checkbox isn't selected to get the data for new users?
I'm having a hard time remembering when exactly I last used Wine and also having to map it to three month intervals.

Does proton count as Wine gaming ?

It's not supposed to no, since Proton is supposed to be mainly a Steam thing, which is why we will be including a Steam Play question eventually when we can get the wording and options correct.

Well, since I've been playing Overwatch, I have to change my Wine answer. :)

Well, since I got it as part of the Humble Monthly, I had figured I'd try it, but it doesn't seem to run with Lutris. How did you do?

This post seems like it should also be an email

It's been a while since this reminder was posted. I am certain that we skipped September. Liam, you don't automate this?

That would take time I don't have right now.

nah, I like that it reminds publicly that gaming on linux has a statistics page once a moth. And anyway an email would just be spam for me.

Would be nice if you can add NixOS to the distro list :) Bonus points if you also display an 'others' bar that groups the outliers that don't fit, so we can get an idea without having to check the full statistics and do the math.

I used the DXVK version of the Lutris installer. I did not have to do any of the tweaks that Liam did. Make sure you install wine-staging and the Vulkan programs from the Arch section that Lutris links to here.

I'll take a peek at my Lutris config to find if I changed anything, but I don't think so.

Wooops... I've just gone back in to change it to back to "never" in that case!

It is automated, but I don't always put it out.

Added the ability to group together everything outside Top 10 for charts that don't have an "Other" option, let me know if there's any weirdness.

NixOS has also now been added.

Sorry for the late reply, spreading myself thin across many things often causes delays.

I've also thought about adding an option to display graphs on a log scale as well. It might be useful for some of them, although making it default might confuse some people :)
