Endless Hardware Trends (Desktop)

A project to identify most popular hardware characteristics and track their change over time based on data collected by Endless users at https://Linux-Hardware.org.

Anyone can contribute to the study by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool:

sudo hw-probe -all -upload

Full-feature report is available here: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=trends&formfactor=desktop
