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

Quoting: LightkeyOne suggestion would be untangling the GPU models mess, adding filters for card families or market segments.

Yeah, something like low end, mid range, high end filters could be useful.

I own a VR device but its not on the list. The Quest, technically it can be connected to PC via Linux if someone builds an app to do it. ALVR could be compiled against dotnet5 under Linux for example.. No idea how one would go about it.

Believe it or not, the Quest headset is the only viable option for many places outside the US such as Australia where Index and other headsets are not sold in store and require imports which can easily exceed a $2000 price tag!!!

The Quest headset cost me $649AUD and the updated model (white) is said to be even cheaper then that. DAMN shame nobody has managed to get them linked up to Linux PC yet. (works amazing under Windows and Virtual Desktop app, or Link cable)

My 1080TI was high end at one stage, now its mid range. So you'd be updating that list a fair bit.

My suggestions:
Do you use Wine for gaming? (Yes/No)
Do you use Proton for gaming? (Yes/No)
Do you use VM for gaming (DOSBox and other emulators don't count)? (Windows/Other/No)

Yes, this whole last X months question was rather strange. A simple "do you use" is a lot more to the point.

Quoting: Liam DaweThe article should note if you have questions you have not answered and tells you how many.

I know, that's how I noticed I had 2 missing answers, but it's barely visible if you don't pay much attention to everything in the article. And it's quite easy to miss it, considering it's basically the same article each month and you don't have changes in your configuration you're rather tempted to "click here to continue to be included" and move on.

So placing that notification in a div with a visible background color would help. :)

A fair point if I wish to bring attention to it, okay. I've adjusted it to place it into an info box with the "here's what we have for you" bit below that. This should clearly make it stand out now.

Gentoo and Arch-based are barely visible here:
Edit: similar issue here:

Perhaps you may wish to collect keyboard layout to see QWERTY vs Dvorak usage amongst Linux gaming enthusiasts?

You can refresh the page to change the colors. Still weird that some colors haven't been blacklisted (denylisted?) in certain themes.

I like "... blocklisted ..."
