Ok, so a blue username normally means OP, a green one means mod. What the heck is a red username?

Instance admin.

Random users are asked each month. If you get chosen you’ll get a popup in the Steam client asking if you’d like to participate.

Weird that it’d be random when they could just ask every user. Would give a more accurate breakdown on certain categories.

That might bias the results towards gaming cafes and people building test machines. Cases where an account is used but a single snapshot doesn’t necessarily reflect what they normally use or that would capture the same machine multiple times.

Yep! And it’s per account. Both of my Linux machines are in this months data!
