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.

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.
So aside for a few wording and technical issues, something stuck out to me. Using “special” to refer to neurodivergence is a bit problematic and potentially dogwhistley because of the historical contexts it’s been used in to dismiss and look down on people. And even if it wasn’t, it’s a bit ambiguous; can someone who feels that they are in touch with their “spiritual side” consider themselves to have a “special brain”?
If you’re wondering about neurodivergence, probably better to just ask “Are you neurodivergent?” rather than using euphemisms.
I am neurodivergent myself.
The word is complicated but for sure, I may rephrase that. Not sure if this will mess up the results though, it may create a second question out of it.
I think special is a positive word.
