I’m finally reading through the OpenSuse 10.2 Survey results (PDF).
There are 3 interesting details I noticed:
- Only 2% (539/27449) of the respondents were women
- The largest group of users were regular users with competent technical skills (35.7%, basic users added another 4.6%), not system administrators (26.9%) or IT professionals (32.9%)
- Usability (4.43/5) was the third highest rated for software requirements (out of 11), after stability (4.69) and security (4.44)
A question which I wish would have been asked was how long the respondents had used Linux, to see how their Linux experience correlates with their OpenSuse experience (especially since 89% of respondents had experience with a Linux other than OpenSuse). Interesting results, regardless.
