A thread for discussion about user stats, trends and various suggestions on the topic.
Shmerl Dec 3, 2019
Some suggestions for missing data points that come up often and would be interesting to monitor the trend for them:

1. Session type (X or Wayland).
2. Monitor refresh rate.
3. Adaptive sync usage.

Would be curios how many people use Wayland.
I am still on good old X.

You forgot another important one: vi vs emacs :P

Quoting: The_AquabatI think one interesting stat would be which package management are u using (RPM, DEB, SLACK or ARCH). You could deduce that from the distro but I'm curious if there is ppl using flatpak or snap out there.

I'd say that can be taken out into a separate question, like "Are you using any sandboxing, containerization or virtualization for gaming?", since Flatpak and etc. are not package managers, but sandboxing technologies.

Currently X, 60Hz no adaptive sync. Using opensource amd hardware and drivers.

Session type (X or Wayland) was finally added (thanks Liam)!

Total number of users in the stats continues to decline. That's concerning.

People adding themselves to it, while not being a regular reader to come back to update it so they drop off - that's what it mainly is because of the data cut-off.

How many active users are there on average?
Shmerl Feb 2, 2020
Oh, thanks for the pointer, I missed this stats section:

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?module=website_stats

It would be useful to have the number of active users there, in addition to total users.

Wasn't there a store and number of game bought each month statistics in the past ? When did it disappear ?

That was a very long time ago, when it was an external survey being done once a month.
