This low effort content is the 2nd most upvoted post in this sub in the last month?

You're criticising the OP for low effort, but also the community for high interest. What are you trying to say really?

[–] mcforest@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I actually criticize the community's high interest in a screenshot for a stupid hardware survey.

I take pride in being able to represent Linux through a "stupid hardware survey."

I say this "low effort" content encompasses more meaning than what your mind could understand at the moment of your reply or, previously, at the flash of a moment that has passed when you skimmed through it. BUT I see where you're coming from (sorry about that).

Funny j just got one today.

Of course I did my part!

First steam survey I ever got and I have been on steam as long as I can remember.

One more gaming PC with Linux for adding to those higher stats of Tux ;)

One of the few corporations (along with kde and Mozilla) I would happily share by data to

Been using Steam for over 10 years but never got asked to do any survey. Is it something you need to turn on or register to? I would love to add my VR headset, my MacBook air (yes I game on it on-the-go), and my ancient PC from 2012 to the statistics.

Wow. I've gotten quite a few Steam Survey requests throughout the years; from what I can tell, it picks users 'at random'. I've also read very mixed things on whether or not you can do it yourself, eg; go into settings and choose to do it?? Or run some command/dialog on Steam startup??

I'm waiting for the survey to reach me on my Steam Deck running OpenSUSE. I wonder if they keep a special eye on Decks not running SteamOS.
