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.

WE could have done with an "other" option, I first tried Linux when my laptop failed and my friend installed Ubuntu to fucking troll me

I mean I guess that's "friends/family showed me" but a very different connotation lol

This is a cool idea. I really liked how you addressed everyone's concerns even if some of them were already answered or just a bit silly, very cool of you.

Thanks. It is hard to do an objective survey and for sure I asked some things that I am interested in.

And that doesnt mean that some questions are not tricks ;D like people use Android but no immutable OS?

I will do an evaluation some time soon but votes are still coming in
