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
- 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
- Lag caused some empty questions to appear, removed
- A question about disk encryption and “why do you use other OS” got mixed up
- 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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Why can not all those be true?
Some answers are phrased so that they all make sense, I am more interested in the most important reasons.
Just everyone selecting everything is not that useful.
Does CryptoPad not support a ranked-choice voting? You get better information than with approval voting.
Also, are you keeping the results from each iteration, or will there be a final version that us early repliers should return to?
Assumed that much, maybe phrase as the 3 most relevant to one?
I can’t complete the survey because of the questions.
Some questions are single choice but should allow for multiple, like 29.
Some questions are too broad, like question 17, “why?”.I believe 17 is why you use disk encryption, as that was the question above for me
Sorry, wrong formatting. Will edit that.
Didn’t realize you could edit it, it’d be nice if there were options for using your computer for creative work like 3D modeling or digital art :)

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
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.
The last one is just stupid, to be honest. But the rest are relevant for statistics sake.
No I am honestly curious as I have the feeling there are tons of people with ADHD and Autism in the Linux community, myself included.
If it was acessability survey it would be OK, but this is a general one.
I get where you are coming from, unlike this one in a enterprise and education context I think anyone should refrain from asking something that personal unless it’s strictly necessary.
Waiting for the results, keep it up!!!
The questions are optional, valid points but I think they make sense.
I added a note
Why not be brave and ask questions? People fill them out voluntarily and anonymously, no one is harmed
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?
Every of these questions is optional and has a “not saying anything” answer.
That doesn’t make it any less insulting and hurtful. You are asking for deeply personal data.
Yeah this survey is super inappropriate and offensive. Please do not ask such personal questions.
Did you notice that more inappropriate questions appear and disappear based on your previous answers?
Duo to the way Crytopad works please remember to add a “Don’t want to say” answer to questions with radio buttons, since you cannot deselect them meaning you can’t back out of questions you don’t want to answer. Hit me up if you wanna do that survey again. I’ll gladly help you with structuring and formatting
Added them
Longer than expected, but it reminded me of some things I haven’t thought of in a while.
Completed
62 questions. I guess I am lazy.
I kinda escalated but that form feature is supercool, those are not really 62, they expand depending on what you select.
For example if you use GNOME and used KDE before, it asks for reasons.
Thats probably a bug
Done
when we can we expect to get results?
This is a first run, doing an overhaul currently (no idea if this breaks things).
Then will post to other lemmy forums and general matrix discussions.
Then in 2 weeks or so the results
