      Ha! And 40% of the ‘Linux’ responders are on the Steam Deck. Impressive. So with about 3 million sold, that would be about 4.5 million ‘desktop’ Linux gamers, about 650k of whom are on Arch, like me.

      You can click into it to get the details; short answer is ‘integrated’, Intel discrete cards don’t even make it to the bottom, so less than 0.15% of responders.

      Adding up all the ‘laptop’ graphics cards comes to about 25% of the total. That would explain why the ‘median’ results for some of the metrics are relatively weak - 1920x1080 screen, 16 Gb of RAM. Be interesting if they kept laptops and desktops separately for those.

      Short answer: that 8% in Intel iGPU are basically “PC in wait for a AMD/Nvidia videocard to be installed”

      We strongly need Intel to succeed in the PC gaming industry for two reason:

      1. they deliver OpenSoucre driver (only for Linux currently, but Linux can make a PC become anything)

      2. give more weight to customer against Nvidia (which are openly against the customers)

      3. support for more open industry standards (Nvidia still the problem here)

    It’s always quite reassuring to see how many other people are bumping along with old and feeble hardware, despite all the hype for new, expensive stuff.

    As an owner of a (desktop)1650 I am surprised to see that it is the most popular.

    But thinking a little about it, it is not so weird, after all pretty much every affordable gaming laptop comes with a 1650.
