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.

    I feel that the questions around community and integration should not depend on the gender selection in question 2, imo.

      The sad reality as that tech is still not terribly diverse. It is better than it was but still lacking.

        I’m not disagreeing, but the poll prevents reporting a bad community experience of you select “male” as gender.

          Yes true. It was dependent in the gender, because I didnt yet try to evaluate the results so having these answers just for non male people would give more exact results

              No this is “focusing on minorities”.

              As you can see like 95% are male, and that is important.

              Also how can something be discriminating if you dont even get anything. You are free to post anything here or use other methods.

              This is like the most subjectively picked survey on earth as it has tons of specific questions which can only be done with A a huge list of questions or B a subjective scope.

                Discrimination can be against anyone. It doesn’t matter who, what or why. You can’t just single out people like that.
