I asked you what OS you are using on a daily basis. The survey allowed you to select more than one OS. These are the results:

There really are a lot of Linux users here. Happy to see that. Windows and Mac are similar in size. Android is larger than iOS, but not by a much in this survey.

A few are using ChromeOS, but there is an impressive 3% using other OS on a daily basis!

#Windows #macos #Linux #Android #iOS #Computer #mobile

36% Windows 35% MacOS 56% Linux 2% ChromeOS 40% Android 29% iOS 3% Other 9439 people participated.

@jon

Would be interesting (on a side note) to see what "other" OS these are.
I could imagine the OS/2-and successors (eComStation, ArcaOS) are amongst them, as well as folks running midrange vintage at home for fun.

Or probably folks who didn't understand their OS actually is some Linux flavor. πŸ˜„

@jon I'm pleasantly surprised by the results!

I understand the enthusiasm of Linux users when they discover Vivaldi and all the possibilities of adapting the browser to their needs and style of use: it's exactly the same on Linux. There's a convergence of ideas on this point.

Despite the fact that some purists cling to the fact that Vivaldi is not totally open source (say only 99.9%!)

I believe that the majority of Linux and Vivaldi users are perfectly comfortable with this.

Linux and Vivaldi: the best combination! πŸ‘

@jon I can see there being a bias towards Linux on Mastodon. macOS and iOS are my daily drivers but Linux is close behind them.

@jon The "other" is probably the Fediverse retrocomputing community plus those who use one of the *BSDs plus those whose retort is "Linux is a kernel, not an operating system". πŸ™‚

@jon I’d missed you could choose multiple options….. For me as well as MacOS I could have voted for iOS and iPadOS.
