Results from the 2024 FreeBSD Community Survey Report

Wed, 29 May 2024 17:41:25 +0000

Description:
The FreeBSD Foundation has announced the 2024
FreeBSD Community Survey Report . The report provides a summary of
1,446 responses to an anonymous online survey of FreeBSD users. It
provides insights into user profiles, typical usage, how the FreeBSD
project is viewed, as well as recommendations for expanding the
FreeBSD community and contributor base: Currently fewer than half of users 
consider FreeBSD their daily
driver; Individuals are less likely than Corporate Users to consider
FreeBSD primary. The barrier seems to be less about software and more
about hardware support, particularly around Wi-Fi drivers (which are
at the top of the wish list for the Foundation to focus on in the
coming year). A relatively high number of those who don't consider
FreeBSD their main OS say they would consider doing so with hardware
support for desktops and laptops that was equivalent to Linux. The raw
data for the survey is available as well.
