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.

I experimented with the platform.

The "anonymous" feature means I cannot do a lot of things one would normally do. For example I have no idea "users that use ubuntu and stayed with Ubuntu will likely dont care about xyz". Because there is no correlation.

Having questions depend on the previous answers makes it possible to filter out groups of people to get more interesting data.

And for sure the questions are biased, try to do an unbiased survey that is still interesting or funny. But I tried my best.
