These are the results of the monthly Steam Hardware Survey which polls just a small percentage of users. You will be notified by the Steam client if you have been chosen for a particular month and you can opt in or out at that time. My account is 20 years old and I’ve gotten the notification maybe half a dozen times, it doesn’t happen often.
Contrary to that, for whatever reason I get a hardware survey 2 times a year or so. (Running Linux for 8 years). I think it might have to do with some algorithm based on play time or something. There is little sense for steam to select a steam account that is completely inactive so it must take that into account somehow
Do I need to start steam at least once a month to show up in the stats?

Unrelated to their question but I think Linux users would be more likely than windows users to opt out, when presented with such a prompt.
I see your idea, but i think a lot of linux gamers are propably younger and thus take more pride in linux, so they would show up
We also want Proton to become better, and the survey is anonymous and very transparent. I always participate gladly.
