Desktop Environments have been added to the user statistics graphs

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.

Folks running GNOME on nvidia cards: How are your GPU temperatures during normal desktop use?

On GNOME my 970 would be at 65C when idling -- something absurd and utterly unacceptable.

With no compositor (Openbox alone, or XFCE + Openbox, or xfwm with compositor off) it sits at ~35C; on KDE5 with the XRender backend it's slightly higher -- with the OpenGL backends it's higher still, but not as high as 65C.

Thank you for the update; it reminded me to update my system information. I recently switched back to my old desktop as I was experiencing too many random freezes on my notebook. One plus is I had an excuse to update my desktop's video card from the old Nvidia 680 to a Nvidia 1080. Not long after I replaced my old failing 1920x1200 TN display with a 1440p 144hz IPS G-Sync screen.

The later was a nice visual change and provided the plus of no noticeable tearing on Linux (yay for no more tearing on Linux.) :P
