Here are the results of the little #Linux survey I ran early this week!

I must admit the results surprised me, I tried to explain them as best I could, but don’t hesitate to comment on the video if you have other ideas !

Also, the raw data is available from the link in the description :)

@thelinuxEXP I compared the stats with @gamingonlinux monthly survey (https://www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statistics/). Note that many (if not all) categories do not fully overlap and some entries are hidden in "other" categories. Still, it shows some differences between communities – and overlaps.
