    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.

          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

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