Desktop Environments have been added to the user statistics graphs

By - | Views: 24,837
If you would be so kind as to update your PC Info once again, there is now a Desktop Environment picker as requested.

The place to update your PC Info has also been moved, it has it's own section on the UserCP now (links on the right hand side). It was getting a bit long and cramping up the main control panel page, so it's more fitting for it to have its own section.

I don't think we have any other major things left from the old survey, so eventually I can begin creating the survey page for users and non-registered GOL users to fill out and submit to be entered into it. It will have pre-filled fields for registered users + extra fields for unique questions.

Once that is ready, I can then have the graphs be auto generated once a month or so automatically (code already prepared to do that).

I've done a few other minor things behind the scenes towards making it pick things up better so it should be more stable too.

See the current stats page here. The new graph will not show up until I have done a new generation once enough people have had time to pick their desktop.

Now is a good time again to voice your requests for the page. I have implemented pretty much all requests from last time that I can remember seeing.

Things already planned:
- Picking a previous date
- Comparing dates
- Add view pc info link to forum posts Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: pete910
Quoting: liamdaweSure, have added in a "Window Manager Only" option to settle that.

Isn't the "View PC info" supposed to show on the forum posts too ?
I never added that in, good point, added it to my TODO.

What, where? Burn the heretic :P

For anyone actually wondering: Yes I dual boot, I have to for certain things like comparisons :) (don't read into it, no need).

I'm still clinging to my Windows partition as I'm too lazy to backup the data on it. But I might as well kill it since it's unused and not maintained.

KDE Plasma 4 in Debian 8.4 "Jessie" is the only DE worth using. Why, oh why, did Plasma 5 have to suffer a group brainfart and think "streamlining" the goodness of Oxygen down to the devolved Breeze theme was a way forward? X-)

Would it be better to say Desktop Shell instead of Desktop Environment or Window Manager? Does it communicate better what it is?
