That's the problem with these questions. The answer might change even if your usage profile stays the same. I would expect quite a bit of stale data for these.
Edit: Wine/Steam Play questioning was removed. In future, we may look to introduce other questions about them but the previous questions didn't fit with the way this survey works and frankly they weren't even useful. Thanks for the feedback. This does streamline it a bit too for now :)

Just was going to ask. I really think it's useful to have something WINE/Proton related! I don't care for the difference, though. Like, are you buying Windows only games to play on Linux? Regularly, seldom, only whitelisted Proton, never-ever.

My guess would be 90% systemD, but I am curious about the others as well.
How does that pertain to gaming? Unless there's a direct benefit to using one init over another in terms of e.g. gaming performance, I don't see why it'd be a useful metric to track here.
The "recently" question was not bad, even if it gets stale. I saw it as reflecting the user's frequency of use. You could adjust the wording a bit to be less about the direct past (last week, last month) and to be more about the general case (how often per year, per month).
You also want to be careful not to lose continuity with your old stats. You have a useful survey tracking linux gaming over time. Suddenly removing a question destroys the ability to track trends in that area.
The most popular GPU: still AMD RX 580.

That's a very edge question in relation to gaming. And I'll make a wild guess that the vast majority are using systemd anyway.

Can you please add monitor refresh rate and usage of adaptive sync points? Those are directly gaming related and would be interesting to see, in addition to already existing resolution.
I thought of asking for Variable Refresh Rate / Adaptive Sync as well.
Still a fan of a special question per month that's interesting, but maybe not worth to be included in the survey, BTW.

I really like this idea, however, I am wondering how this would work with multiple monitors ?
For example, I have 2 monitors, one is 180Hz with Gsync, and the other is 75Hz, so technically I could play at 180Hz (max) with Gsync enabled, (like I did when I was using Windows), but under linux, I am capped at 75Hz with no Gsync...
So I am afraid that the answer to these question will be biased.
If I had such a setup, i'd disable the second monitor for gaming to get what I payed for.
I guess the same way it works now with question for resolution? The answer only allows one option.
