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. If this is still correct and it has been a long time since you updated, you can simply click here to continue to be included. If this isn't correct, click here to go to your User Control Panel to update it!

 

Note: Some people still have Ubuntu-GNOME and Antergos set as their distribution, since neither actually exist any more with Ubuntu-GNOME now just being Ubuntu and Antergos announcing their shut-down both will be removed soon as options.

Hmm, I use sway, but that wouldn't really fit the "window manager" category, would it?
I would be a bit curious regarding Wayland vs X :)

Liam, can you add new distros? For example OpenMandriva?

It's very nice for the first time since this survey started to be observing a genuine trend away from dual booting.

It's super encouraging for Linux gaming and it's actually very easy now without making any major sacrifices to your game library.

Do they have an SVG logo anywhere I can access and use?

Me too, even if I assume the number of Wayland users are quite low in the group of gamers, I would like to see this added as an option so that it can be tracked in the monthly statistics. I'm maybe one of the few Plasma Wayland users even on my gaming machine.
How would be the best way to phrase it?

Sure.

In case it matters, that's a PNG embedded in an SVG, not an actual vector image.

It looks like the percentage calculus is a bit wonky. See the below picture.

![](https://i.imgur.com/LXjIAVr.png)

The percentage change is the same, but the amount of people is wildly different. It's the same for several other stats too, not just this one. It's just extra visible here due to so few variables.

It's correct, as it's comparing to the previous month, with the later month having less who answered.

Edit: I guess I can see why that's confusing, since I'm doing it directly against the previous percentage and not the actual percentage difference.

Update: I've now corrected that to be the actual percentage difference, not the plain change. Better?

"Do You use X server (not XWayland) for gaming?"
Or
"Do You use X or Wayland session ?"

Sorry, I'm not a graphics expert.

This svg logo should be correct https://sendeyo.com/en/46f46f6749

OpenMandriva has now been added.

proton via gamehub worth as a derivative of wine?
use steam play for a quick test applies to "When was the last time you used Steam Play to play a Windows game?"

my poor antergos, has been installed on my computer since 2015 (time passes quickly)... :'(
I need a fast method to install arch (fast for me, arch users don't shoot me please <3 )

some users are trying to keep the spirit alive in a "new" distro.

Wouldn't uninstalling the programs from the Antergos repo and then removing the repo work just as well?

Looking at the stats, I was amused by the "Number of Monitors" section. There are a few people with 5 monitors and 10 monitors connected to their Linux computer. Trying to imagine what they do on such a setup. Also, wouldn't it be better to have, say, three 4K monitors (equivalent to 12 HD monitors) than 10 individual screens.

On another note, the tiny percentage changes month-on-month could be explained by people just forgetting to answer the survey question one month and remembering on another month, as well as people joining and leaving the survey. I think the trends are more applicable, when you view user count across multiple months, rather than percentage change across one month.

Thanks, yes that looks better. It was a bit confusing before.

Hello.

How many people have an SLI or Crossfire setup?

And how many graphics cards, 2, 3 ,4?

Here you go. :)

It might "work", but it's not Arch and won't be supported by the Arch community.
