    I wonder if people who use Linux also decline doing the hardware survey more often than Windows users, skewing the numbers even more?

      I suspect it’s actually the opposite. Linux users want more and better Linux support, so they want to show that it’s being used.

        Should arch users not count for some reason or am I missing something?

          I assume the person you replied to was insinuating Arch users are probably more likely to do the survey because they are vocal about sharing their choice of OS

          There is a stereotype about Arch users using every opportunity they can to mention they use arch. He is implying they would be more likely to accept the hardware survey for this reason

            The funny part is more people who don’t use arch bring up arch at this point. Nix OS has become the distro that users always tell everyone they use it.

            Arch has become rather normie.

      I do! I mainly use Linux but if the survey pops up when I’m on Windows I always decline it.
