Quoting: LightkeyOne suggestion would be untangling the GPU models mess, adding filters for card families or market segments.

Yeah, something like low end, mid range, high end filters could be useful.

Some notable trends:

* KDE got ahead of Gnome, so finally that balanced out Unity merging into Gnome, which made Gnome ahead in the past.
* AMD GPU usage is nearing 39% and growing and CPU is also growing now at almost 46%. Impressive.
* Most popular GPU model - Radeon RX 580. RX 5700 XT is fourth, but on the quick rise.

Can you please add screen refresh rate and usage of adaptive sync? Those would be interesting to track, especially when compared with X11 / Wayland sessions data.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse releases in Q4 2020 with a new trailer, confirmed for Linux PC

I call it a visual novel still. Everything today has "RPG elements", even visual novels. And I expect it to have it, after all WoD is a collection of RPG systems.

So it is a visual novel after all. It's good that they plan to release it for Linux. Looks like we are getting quite a number of visual novels set in the World of Darkness.

Quoting: barottoThat won't happen in a million years.
Also TSMC as a foundry doesn't have the capacity to satisfy the market's needs for mobile+server+desktop for Apple+AMD+Nvidia+Intel combined anyway.

TSMC are building new foundries. So they'll satisfy it.

Nice, except for no DP connector even through USB-C. I'd take that over HDMI any time. Computers today should all have DP.
