This is your once a month reminder to make sure your PC information is correct on your user profiles. A fresh batch of statistics is generated on the 1st of each month.

You need to be logged in to see when you last updated your PC info!

You can see the statistics any time on this page.

If you want your details to actually be included in the monthly survey, be sure to head here and tick the box labelled "Include your PC details in our Monthly User Statistics?" and hit the "Update" button at the bottom, it's opt-in and you can uncheck it at any time not to be included in future statistics gathering.

PC Info is automatically purged if it hasn't been updated, or if you don't click the link to remain in for 2 years. This way we prevent too much stale data and don't hold onto your data for longer than required. If this is still correct and it has been a long time since you updated, you can simply click here to continue to be included. If this isn't correct, click here to go to your User Control Panel to update it!

 

Note: Some people still have Ubuntu-GNOME and Antergos set as their distribution, since neither actually exist any more with Ubuntu-GNOME now just being Ubuntu and Antergos announcing their shut-down both will be removed soon as options.

Can we have the old graphs back as well? Seeing the trends change over time is quite nice, and really not doable with these bar graphs.

Click the trends link, it's always been there.

Here you go. :)

Quoting: Spud13yWouldn't uninstalling the programs from the Antergos repo and then removing the repo work just as well?

It might "work", but it's not Arch and won't be supported by the Arch community.

Oh, I know. That doesn't stop people using Architect or whatever. :D

Quoting: liamdaweHow would be the best way to phrase it?

What desktop session do you use, X or Wayland?

AMD GPUs usage among GOL users is now over 30%.

And yet another reminder that I haven't changed my setup much in a long while.
I think my GPU is dying, or the PSU, or both. Or neither? seems like all my issues started occurring after running the Blender 2.8 beta for a few hours, so either bad timing or the program somehow corrupted something. Though I doubt any sort of corruption would cause my PC to randomly shut off.

Indeed, might be your PSU if you are experiencing random shutdowns! :S:

A bad PSU is dangerous, I lost my previous graphics card that way.
That said, it might also be invalid shaders generated by blender, though those would tend to lock up the GPU/system instead of shutting the computer down.

Liam, I second Shmerl's phrasing. Seeing how many answer XFCE+Wayland would be indicative of the accuracy of the results.

maybe, but I'm waiting for the update that the developers have promised

How representative are these numbers compared with the wider Linux community?

The reason I ask is that I'm surprised Linux Mint sits at below 10%. It has been my impression that this is one of the main distros, maybe the most popular by now, due to how easy it is to get into for beginners (like myself). Here, however, Arch has a big following. Maybe because the site is occupied by fairly advanced Linux users?
