Do I need to start steam at least once a month to show up in the stats?

These are the results of the monthly Steam Hardware Survey which polls just a small percentage of users. You will be notified by the Steam client if you have been chosen for a particular month and you can opt in or out at that time. My account is 20 years old and I've gotten the notification maybe half a dozen times, it doesn't happen often.

Unrelated to their question but I think Linux users would be more likely than windows users to opt out, when presented with such a prompt.

We also want Proton to become better, and the survey is anonymous and very transparent. I always participate gladly.

I see your idea, but i think a lot of linux gamers are propably younger and thus take more pride in linux, so they would show up
