@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social Done 😉

@thelinuxEXP About the "Where did you get your device from" question: I got mine from a fairly unknown non-Linux manufacturer (Schenker), and I ordered it without any OS pre-installed.

Maybe those two edge cases could be reflected in the form?

@thelinuxEXP done and boosted!

@thelinuxEXP love to see the average in the results soon 😏. Added mine 👌

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social done and spammed 😅✌️

@thelinuxEXP My situation is extremely RaspberryPi, I rarely boot my 14900K currently, still waiting for COSMIC. Its mostly a workstation and a gaming machine.

@thelinuxEXP I might be the user with dedicated amd and novoueau 😅

Got confused if I could fill it out for my desktop and my laptop

@thelinuxEXP I have 2 systems with a very different config, what can I do ?

@thelinuxEXP Cool that you're doing these polls, it's fun to see what everyone uses

@thelinuxEXP dont work

@thelinuxEXP by "flatpak apps", do you include CLI apps?

@thelinuxEXP done.

@thelinuxEXP I am missing the Dualboot Linux - Linux option. I always have a 2nd Linux installed in parallel for testing and maintenance tasks.

@thelinuxEXP we can't have bought a PC from a niche manufacturer with Windows? 😅

@thelinuxEXP I answered openSUSE for my main laptop, but I actually have a secondary laptop I run Linux Mint on. In all honesty I would run Mint on my main laptop too, it just needs fractional scaling on par with KDE Plasma first.

@thelinuxEXP
Done

X11 user but also using Wayland from time to time to check if everything I use works as expected, Darktable and colour management above all.

No multiboot with only several Linux distros option? that's me 😬

@thelinuxEXP I have shared my responses.

@thelinuxEXP done, I look forward to results! 👀

@thelinuxEXP Very interested to see the survey results!

I do wish that you had a question about secondary or multiple computers. As a hobbyist, I have 2 Linux-exclusive laptops, 1 laptop and 1 desktop that dual-boot Linux and macOS, 1 Linux-only desktop, and 3 Raspberry Pi SBCs.

My current distro of choice is @ultramarine, with my hybrid graphics laptop running #NobaraLinux, but for friends and family I strongly recommend #LinuxMint.

@thelinuxEXP Finished submitting it for one of my machines, but I do have another one where I use dwm.

Is the TWM shilled by Luke Smith so niche now that it's basically irrelevant?

@thelinuxEXP hi, I try to use mostly flatpak, sometimes AppImage and when there is no alternative distro package.

@thelinuxEXP pretty cool! sharing it with some friends too.

@thelinuxEXP This is not critique, but I have 3 totally different systems. For work and gaming LMDE6, for freetime Artix + DWL and for tinkering machine I dual boot Pop_OS! and FreeBSD.

@thelinuxEXP @JustineSmithies@treehouse.system FYI I had trouble submitting my response 🇦🇺

@thelinuxEXP I’m using the only mainstream AMD + AMD gaming laptop as a daily driver. Asus Tuf A16 2023 edition.

Everything works ootb though you’ll have a better experience with asusctl & rog-gui installed

@thelinuxEXP Thank you Nick, these are fun to do once in a while! Hope you can do a few more in the future.

@thelinuxEXP nice to see the Forms app that I'm codevelopping in action #nextcloud #forms

@thelinuxEXP You have "tiling window manager" but no option for non-tiling window managers. What do I choose?

@thelinuxEXP Just completed the form. Can't wait to see the results. I use mostly Flatpaks and Fedora native applications but only two appimages and no snaps. Haven't felt the need to touch appimages or snaps

@thelinuxEXP ofcourse my man :badabing: we love u :blobaww:
I really want to know the results.

@thelinuxEXP Done, and thank you. Maybe a missing option in the hardware part could be something like "main manufacturers (HP, Lenovo etc.) without OS". It's usually my case (also with 2nd hand corporate machines)

@thelinuxEXP A lot of these questions should be multiple choice, like the AMD/Intel question, windowing environments and browser…

@thelinuxEXP

Done! Very curious of the results!

@thelinuxEXP I have a Gigabyte Aorus laptop, and odd enough, it is impossible to do a dual boot on it, even triple or quadruple or whatever

@thelinuxEXP Tried to submit the survey but got an error in submitting.

@thelinuxEXP Just did it, took only a min or two, good luck with the video!

@thelinuxEXP heh I should've waited with my Windows install so I could've said Linux only. I had to install it recently to play games that, while working *perfectly* on Linux, refuse to let me play online because of #anticheat.

@thelinuxEXP you should definitely add a Windows option to the list (some of us still do daily-drive Windows for specific reasons... But still use Linux from time to time)

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social done. I want to clarify though that the only hardware on my Lenovo laptop that doesn't work is the fingerprint reader. Everything else has worked out of the box for everything from Void to Arch to Debian, all the way up to my current Fedora Silver blue 40 beta.

Love your show, BTW.

@thelinuxEXP I completed your form - The Nextcloud site loaded VERY fast from my VPN In Canada. Looking forward to the video - Great content. Debain 12 vanilla is the best DE. No need for anything else. ;)

@thelinuxEXP Took approximately forever but it did load and display eventually, and submitted successfully. 🙂

@thelinuxEXP I responded with my current desktop but I do use many others, I have a large network.

So the response was for the desktop, the laptop is Mint with zfs for the filesystem, but have other machines running Plex, Ubuntu, Debian & a couple of Mac's. The others are either microcontrollers or older 8 & 16 bit machines

@thelinuxEXP I've been using the same distribution for years, but every once in a while I give a different one a try and daily drive it for a few days

@thelinuxEXP thanks for the tip that forms are even an app in nextcloud! i had no idea- super cool feature

@thelinuxEXP done! Curious to see the results. This also reminds me that I need to give Nextcloud another shot.

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social Basing solely on the number of extensions to determine if it is GNOME vanilla or not does not seem correct to me ​:neocat_think:​

You can use only 1 extension, but that extension will be PaperWM, and you can no longer say that it is still vanilla GNOME

I use more than 2 extensions, but my GNOME is still pretty vanilla

@thelinuxEXP I went to the trouble of filling it out and got an "error"--with no indication as to why. I left some answers undone because your pole depends a great deal on my only using one computer regularly.

Oh well.

@thelinuxEXP I have a dell laptop and it came with freedos, not Windows, so in my case neither Linux nor Windows was pre-installed. That question put me in a weird dilemma (ツ)

@thelinuxEXP ah yes, a classic case of Nextcloud being too slow

~~rewrite it in Rust when?~~
