You can submit it yourself. Help > Hardware

I'll singlehandedly save linux gaming by doing this every month. But I'd have to throw AMD under the bus since I still have green... Life's hard choices.

edit: There is no "Hardware" option and "System Information" doesn't have a button to send it in :(

It might be bugged now. I was able to do it a few months ago. Maybe I did happen to do it at the time of the hardware survey? 🤔

hehe exiting steam and running

sed -i -e '/SurveyDate/ s/"[0-9].*"/"'$(date +%Y-%m-%d -d "1 year ago")'"/' ~/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf

then starting it back up did work to get the survey popup (found it in this r*ddit thread)

This is definitely a shady thing to do though hehe
