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.
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!
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
If you want more options let me know and I will add them in.
Also updated the code so the bit that automatically displays your own personal details in this article is now shared with the profile displaying, hooray for no code duplication and making it easier for me to expand it.

Awesome!
I think you'd have to be very determined to misinterpret it like that. It seems very clear what that option is for. FWIW, back when the survey was a google form, there used to be more options for WM-only users, and it got pretty messy.
Personally, I think the architecture question could be retired given that a number of distros are dropping support for 32-bit and it's therefore unlikely to see a resurgence. The trend has been that ~99.8% (+/- 0.1%) of respondents are using 64-bit for as long as the charts stretch back. I'm not sure there's any value in continuing to measure that.
Done, selected. :D
Since yesterday I use an unsupported arch (removed antergos packages and repository).
Can I say "btw i use arch?" :D:D
Well, it is that time of year -- there's nothing quite like strolling through the golden fields of RAM, swaying in the breeze; selecting a particularly ripe CPU from the processor bushes before wandering over to the GPU orchards to harvest a nice fresh one (before the wasps get to them). I'd give it a few more weeks before digging up a new motherboard though, they're better after a good hard frost gets to them.
Sometimes I wonder why that distro name is so weird and long (four words instead of one)…

* KDE almost caught up to Gnome, after the later got a boost a while ago from the former Unity users.
* Dual booting keeps being replaced by Wine / Proton usage.
* AMD is now at 32.91% for GPUs and 36.67% for CPUs (and keeps growing).
For example, right now there's currently around 125 people who haven't updated since 2017 and we only keep people in the statistics if they've updated within two years after that they're wiped for privacy.
Also added a link to the statistic page on users profiles, below their PC info to hopefully make it even easier to find the page and perhaps pull a few more people in who see it :)
It also has a note in our rotating announcement bar at the top of the website. It can be dismissed by users just like the mailing list bar, hopefully again this will bring a little more attention to it!
On top of that, the Statistics Page will also now tell you when you're logged in if you're set to not be included.

The trend however, for AMD is positive, while Nvidia is dropping. Hopefully that will continue.
It actually makes sense not only due to privacy, but because stale data becomes obsolete. It makes sense to purge it if it's not updated, or at least ignore for current values. I.e. in reality those users could have changed their hardware several times already, while their profile if not purged, would still reflect their setup years ago, messing up aggregated values and trends.
