I'm finally a FOSS contributor
Title: Valve Hardware Survey

Body: Please take a moment to complete the following short survey. Each
month, Steam collects data about what kinds of computer hardware and
software our customers are using. The survey data is incredibly helpful to
us in that it ensures that we're making good decisions about what kinds of
technology investments to make and products to offer.

The data we collect is anonymous and won't be associated with your
account.

Would you like to participate in this survey?
