Quoting: ellieferalThis one was on purpose, would ya believe it!

We're bringing it to the Mac App Store first, which is why we've focussed the spotlight on them for now, but we will bring it to Linux too. It's awesome, we want you to have it.

Thanks for clearing it up, article adjusting to reflect that.

Quoting: tuubi
Quoting: liamdaweAs requested by Edwin we now show what driver people use split across all, nvidia only and amd only.
The switched colours and sort order in the AMD chart threw me off a bit. Would be nice if these three tables were all laid out the same, with open source at the top.

Noted and fixed, Open Source is always first on those now, so the colour and sorting both matches in all three.

Great idea and one we originally did in the old survey so it's good to have it here too!

Someone mentioned only using ranges for when we do a resolution bit, could you guys give me examples of that?

New colours for the bars are up as suggested using a picked colour palette.

Removed Hybrid Driver option as suggested, since it IS the closed driver.

Added in an option to hide your PC info (no link to it, doesn't show on profiles), that way you can still be included, but be 100% anonymous. From a request in here.

Dead Island Definitive Edition and Dead Island Riptide: Definitive Edition released, seem to have hidden Linux versions

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: leillo1975If I buy definitive edition bundle at this time, the game counts like a Linux purchase?
Probably not simply because Linux is not officially supported at this time.

Yes it will. Developers can easily see on Steam what platform purchased from within Steam.

The only time it really matters it outside of Steam.

Since it has Linux content properly downloadable, they will of course be able to see Linux purchases.

People only wait for the Linux/SteamOS icon to be sure it's officially supported.

Quoting: Dea1993into the gpu driver graphs you also must add Hybrid driver (AMDGPU-PRO, is open and closed)
Done. You can now select it on your profile, won't show up of course until new graphs are generated.
I don't think it's much useful to make this distinction and it will only confuse people. Catalyst is now dead, it will phase out from distros very soon. And AMDGPU-PRO is still closed, it doesn't really matter that some parts are open, the bundle is closed overall. You are running a closed blob, and whether it is a kernel driver or a userspace driver is just an unimportant detail. So having just "opensource" and "closed" covers all cases and is simple.

Mmmm yeah I agree actually thinking on it. Might look at removing that option again, as you're clearly correct about it (this is why it's in BETA so I can make lots of changes).
