There’s also a modest proposal for those into satire.

Generally speaking you’re usually from 0 to 720 hours in a month: how many time in a year you have to remind people what month they are into vs. the single day?

Guy A: “Hey, what day is it?”

Guy B: “It’s Sunday, the 13th.”

Guy A: “Of…?” (gesturing to keep going)

Guy B: “Ah, right, we’re just 390 hours into August. You may have missed that.”

Driver for VGA/HDMI?

How much minimal that kernel is?

…it their money aren’t already gone for a 999$ monitor stand.

SteamDeck buyers on the other side…

Same perks and disadvantages apply on all platforms Steam collect data from. My guess Valve do apply some weird AI algorithm to determine missing data. IE (just speculation) if there are Steam Decks that never go in Desktop Mode the algorithm pushes itself more widely in the array of the SDs that do.

One thing worth to remember, Valve always knows which binary executable connect to their server (and today very few use Steam’s windows .exe through WINE), the survey is just them asking permission to eventually use your data: is not a commitment, they can fix/screw the statistical data anyway they see fit… I think mostly to fight those who cheat with the stats… Chinese language jumped few time over English (making English a secondary language on Steam) and Valve “fixed” those published data too!
