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.
Does the intel number include integrated graphics? If not that 8% is fairly impressive

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:
they deliver OpenSoucre driver (only for Linux currently, but Linux can make a PC become anything)
give more weight to customer against Nvidia (which are openly against the customers)
support for more open industry standards (Nvidia still the problem here)
