The usual rule has been to include the one you use most. This isn't about who owns the most hardware after all.

I've since moved back from a Ubuntu KDE setup to Manjaro MATE, no regrets. The only annoyance is some things can take quite a long time to compile, such as compilers themselves.

KDE is nicer an easier to customize absolutely, but kwin hates nvidia cards and I was running into too many headaches with applications unable to detect my displays correctly etc... shame.

When was the first GOL hardware survey?
Is once every 2 years not to long for the drop off?

It doesn't matter when the first was, that has no relevance on the drop-off.

The monthly data is gathered from what people have currently and honestly, who upgrades their PC multiple times a year? The answer is likely a minority of people and they are more likely to actually update their info here as well.

It would be useful to add VRAM in addition to regular RAM.

I agree with you that it is not useful for hardware info.
But on the other hand people who use Linux change their distro more often.
Maybe change the drop-off for distro's to like 1 year or 6 months perhaps?

Never done that in 20 years. :-)

I have only changed my primary distribution once in eleven years of using Linux full time.
