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.

live results

Notes

  1. 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
  2. Lag caused some empty questions to appear, removed
  3. A question about disk encryption and "why do you use other OS" got mixed up
  4. 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.

What is your gender?

What is your / your families income?

Do you have a special brain?

Yeah this survey is super inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ask such personal questions.

I think these questions may be, depending on the context, but I'm willing to assume that these are not intended to be. If they come from a legitimate wish to better understand the community without prejudice, then these questions are acceptable to me. It's also a standalone poll, self reported and with no tie to any identity.

But maybe I'm unique in thinking that these questions may have circumstances in which they are acceptable?

Maybe it is a cultural thing. For me personally these questions are offensive.

What culture are you from? Apologies if this is offensive to ask

Do you not take offense when someone starts asking for deeply personal information? Not even my know how much I make
