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

  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.

    Sorry, but how are a lot of the questions relevant for this community?

    Especially concerning the (family) income, age, being neurodivergent etc. These are sensitive information and seem more fitting for a market survey/selling ads.

    What is your goal with the answers? What are your research questions? How will the answers help this community?

      I think they are relevant to getting to know this community. The questions are optional.

      So going into this survey my idea of this community was

      • Linux mint or arch users
      • male
      • 25 average
      • often neurodivergent
      • more income than average as tech stuff is kinda educated friendly

      I am neurodivergent myself. I am interested if free software actually reaches poorer people. I am interested how diverse we are.

        Thanks for your answer, I guess fair enough. ;-)

        Good luck for your survey!
