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

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.

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

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.
