Links to the 2022 and the 2023 surveys lead to their poll threads and I don’t see any results in them. Can you just link previous survey poll results directly?

Thank you so much for this! After my first attempt to fill this out, I got a “The server was unable to process your request” page, but the second time worked.

Side Note: Northeast Asia typically includes China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and Mongolia, while Southeast Asia includes countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Thank you, I was very confused as I’ve only heard the term East Asia used to refer to where I am.

I filled it out on the phone over the course of a few hours and then for some reason it crashed when I tried to submit it.
Should it remember where I stopped or do I have to do it in one go?

IIRC it should load partially completed surveys.

I’ll ask the infra team about the stability of limesurvey.

No central Europe :no_mouth:

At the very end you wrote “Stay Tune” instead of “stay tuned”. Otherwise very cool.

I’m sure the results will be interesting.

On the “How did you find out about it?” question,
there should be an “other” option, and possibly, a “I don’t remember” option (my case).

Is it on purpose that these weren’t posted on HN/Lobsters? I’ve just done so, thinking that it’s better to get a wide and varied audience to respond, rather than just the people who hang out here.

Nope, not on purpose :slightly_smiling_face:

Please do spread the word about it anywhere you can!

Excited to see the experience level vs years of using Nix heatmap and other interesting data that comes from this survey. :slight_smile:

On month left for the NixOS survey and yet we have almost as many respondents as last year!

Please don’t hesitate to share the link to the survey on social medias, forums, chatrooms, or even to your cat! :smiley:

I hereby demand statistics on the amount of cats in the Nix community in the Nix survey results!

The Nix Survey 2024 is now closed.

Thank you all for your time and participation, we will come back with results after some analysis!

I can already say we have 2290 responses, which is more than +30% since last year!
