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

DE, huh... I'm not sure... I'm using KDE with Awesome as my WM, so I'll say Window Manager only, even if that's not right.

Well, Awesome is just a Window Manager, so you're using KDE as your desktop?

Had a problem with updating mine because only the Ti version of the GTX 1660 is listed :Y

It seems you forgot to remove Ubuntu?

Added, for future reference there's a handy link below the GPU field to email us a missing one :)

@liamdawe: can you please add the total (and specific) number of users to trends in the tooltip, when hovering over specific data point? I.e. something like (30% [300/1000]). Percentages alone are not as informative without absolute numbers.

Working on it. I have mostly figured out how to do this, hang tight.

Done, took some research and some hair-pulling but I managed to get it to work.

I wish it had more flexibility in the controllers part. Since we Linux users are not mainstream, it's quite useful to know when some other people have more unusual controllers, like HOTAS sets or steering wheels.

Suggestions? I am happy to make adjustments, but I can't act on vague stuff like that. What do you want changed/added?

Great, thanks! It shows a drop in the total number of users, when checking some trends. Is it because some users aren't updating profiles, or because some users stopped specifying some particular parameter in their profile?

The drop in the total number could be:
- Some removed their answer
- Some unticked the box to be in the survey
- Old data past two years

And of course a mixture of all three.

"Monitors" should rather be named "Number of monitors", because it can be confusing. I was on the trends page (hint Ubuntu :P) and I thought the monitors trends had broken label associations and we got their indexes/IDs instead of the names. Programmer issue, but we're still people. :P

Yeah, but Awesome chooses to not follow some of the more cruft-y EWMH specs (only one virtual workspace over all monitors, for example), so my desktop is differently compatible than normal KDE.

Still KDE and all the programs associated though? If you use KDE, you use KDE ;)

The survey isn't currently meant to dive into every single little detail about people's setups, more to get an overview.

Nothing too fancy, I think an extra field where you could enter a list of the devices you use would do. :)

I will think on this, that sounds like it would get pretty messy, especially to get some kind of chart out of it.

since we're requesting stats we'd like added, i think some storage media stats would be interesting(at least they would be to me): type(ssd, pcie nvme, hdd, floppy(ok, not really on the floppy :D)), amount(GB,TB,PB),RAID(0,1,5,10,:hardware HBA, mobo fakeraid, linux software raid, LVM).

then i could brag aboit the Areca 1231-ML 12 port raid hba i'm phasing out with m.2 pcie nvme sticks :D

I've adjusted that, I can see how it could be confusing. It's now named "Number of monitors" and I've also added a dash separator between the label and the amount so hopefully that makes it easier.
