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

By - | Views: 11,059

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 [url=https://www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statistics]on this page[/url].

While we don't currently have a drop-off implemented for old/stale data, it will be added in likely early next year. If you want to make sure you're included at any time clicking update without any changes will update the last time you edited them.

The drop-off for old data will be done in months, since people aren't likely to change hardware that often.

Quoting: eridanired123Apparently [bRyzen has been a success for AMD[/b], trends show that users are slowly changing their preferences (very slowly). In the GPU department, behaviour is quite similar. Screw you nVidia!


I expect AMD GPUs adoption rate to accelerate next year, if AMD will sort out availability issues. Mesa is close to getting ahead of Nvidia blob in most aspects (Vulkan still needs stronger push).

I didn't even know the strange Steam Controller is that popular.

Xbox 360? Okay, got it, seems like the standard PC controller even though I don't like it and use dual shock instead. But really, Steam Controller? I can't get used to that piece of hardware...

Another suggestion - in the trends, it would be useful to show total number of users in the tooltip for each point. Otherwise it's quite hard to evaluate what percentage really represents.

For most games, you can use it without even touching the touch pads (not for twin-stick shooters, obviously). I do like these, though, they gave me a better feeling for the mouse cursor in the first second than I ever had from any laptop touchpad.

The only imperfection of Steam Controller for me is it's big size.

QuoteWhen was the last time you used Wine to play a Windows game? Over six months ago

Should I say "never" if it was over 5 years ago?

I'd say more than a year qualifies as "I never use it".

Well... changing to "never" then.

Quoting: Shmerl@liamdawe: in the trends section, color bars above the graphs (map) are a bit hard to read, because they just show a thin color outline around a gray rectangle. It would be way more readable as solid color.
This has now been sorted, thanks.

Quoting: HamishSo am I letting the side down then by having a more than five year old rig that uses a ton of second hand parts?

First, I want to second Liam, this is not a pissing contest by any stretch. Second, years old tech is hardly outdated let alone something to think of as "letting down" the Linux community. Even in the Windows space of three years ago, when I stopped duel booting and went 100% Linux, my PC (mostly in service since 2010 and not exactly high tier tech when I bought it*) was still solidly capable for both gaming and core productivity using both FOSS and proprietary tools.


*MSI 785GM-E65, Athlon II 2.6GHz Quad CPU, DDR3 1333 RAM (4GB since 2010, 8 GB added in 2014), Gigabyte R9 270X (upgraded from a Gigabyte HD 4850 in 2014), WD Green 750GB HDD, Sony 24X CD/DVD RW, Logitech T-BC21 (bought in 2003, used since), Logitech K120 (third I've owned since switching to USB keyboards from PS/2, current one is a year old) and a really cheap (sub-$40 when purchased) Linkworld case that came with a cheap 430W PSU (upgraded to a modular 800W PSU in 2014).
