To get an idea of this community, and to try the cool CryptPad Survey feature, I created a pretty big Linux usage survey!
The data is anonymized and the content encrypted on the server. I plan on publishing the results.
Have fun!
It works on hardened Firefox on a phone, but the experience is better on a PC.
Notes
- I am very sorry but the question "it is okay that my above message gets published" cannot reasonably be respected, as the text is just dumped into a single block
- Lag caused some empty questions to appear, removed
- A question about disk encryption and "why do you use other OS" got mixed up
- i changed the wording of some questions or added more options, so there may be duplicate old answers or too little new ones. You can edit your submission and update your answers.
Why does "Why did you switch from*" have different options for each distro? Thought it was funny only NixOS had "toxic people" option. Guessing due to recent drama.
I see someone trying out the options ;)
Yes for sure not the perfectly scientific method, but I used things that are known. Like Snaps and Ads for Ubuntu, too old packages for Debian, and "I dont know really why to use it" for OpenSUSE lol
And yes, NixOS to my knowledge has a huge governance issue.
I will do another survey about exact distros, and could have used specific ones here too but didnt want to for now.
