       @CliffWade Arch Linux all the things!I have Arch running on every single computer I'm able to get my paws on, mainly because I can't stand having to swap between using different systems when I'm moving between computers.(obligitory arch btw)

       @cliffwade I hope all answer both polls. One, include ChromeOS (ChromeOS have kernel linux and is similar to Android?), the another, can know about the proportion of people that selects between Linux (Free Libre OS) and Unix/MacOS (Closed source).

       @glweiss03 @leaferiksen As I've stated numerous times in the comments of this post, it's done like that because polls are limited to 4 options on most all instances. That's exactly why there's a COMMENT option, so that you can simply comment and state what you use.

       @CliffWade +1. I checked Linux and ChromeOS, but the more detailed breakdown is:* #Kubuntu on main laptop* #Lubuntu or #Xebian on lower-powered laptops* #Debian or #ArchLinux 32 on 32-bit systems* Various #Ubuntu flavors on testing laptops as part of development work* #ChromeOS on my tablet* Windows 2000 and Windows 98 in virtual machines* Random odd operating systems in emulators sometimes (ReactOS, NetBSD, etc.)

       @CliffWade I would probably say that if Unix/macOS are under the same umbrella other BSD systems probably are too? Or would you consider FreeBSD for example as other?

       @jph Nope. As the posts states, it's simply because there is a limitation on amount of poll options.

       @CliffWade is nope for the first question or the second one?Sorry, my question probably would have been more clear if i just left out the first part and just asked if FreeBSD would fall under other.

       @jph Haha sorry! No, BSD isn't considered there with MacOS as well. Again, just limitations of only having 4 poll options and nothing more, so you can only do so much.

       @CliffWade Primary Laptop, Windows 10. It lives in the bedroom, I now have a Chromebook downstairs so I don't have to keep moving the laptop. I then have a billion (yes a bit of an exaggeration) Raspberry Pis running Raspbian, and a Proxmox server running countless LXCs with different flavours of Linux. Primarily Debian based though.

       @CliffWade literally all the above. Windows on my gaming PC, Mac on my daily driver laptop. Linux on my server and crypto rigs.I’m considering moving my gaming rig over to Linux though since Apex Legends has such good support. But I got deterred a few weeks ago when reports about Linux users getting banned started cropping up. So I haven’t made that change just yet.

       @mdmrn @jcrabapple 16 years ago is a long time. It's hard to believe that I started using Linux in 2002 when I started with Mandrake Linux. I remember when distros such as Ubuntu and Fedora first came about.

       @jcrabapple Unfortunately I can only do 4 options total, so I'd have to leave one of those 4 off to have the "Other" option. I really hate that Mastodon polls are limited to 4 options by default. I wish that would change to at least 6 - 8, if not 10.

       @mdmrn @jcrabapple Yes! I remember that as well, and to be honest, that really helped put Linux more into the mainstream than it was at that time. While I didn't like Mark Noseworthy, he creating Ubuntu and all of that was one of the best things that happened.

       @CliffWade I would slap my own mother for more poll options in Mastodon.

       @jcrabapple Same! Unfortunately I'm hosted with MastoHost so I don't have that option. If you have full access, you can easily change the poll options to include more options.

       @CliffWade @jcrabapple There is an option but it will take longer...With "semi-finals" you have up to 8 options and then move the top 4 options to the final...
