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 think it compensates cause you have many I use arch btw people.

Should arch users not count for some reason or am I missing something?

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

Nobody skews numbers more than Microsoft so more power to the Linux users.

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