Time for another community poll!

In this one, I ask all of you how important Open Source / Free Software is to you, and how much of your daily system is made of open source software.

I ditched Google Forms for Cryptpad, hopefully this works well enough! Poll will close next Wednesday, the 30th. Don't hesitate to share it widely so we have a solid amount of answers 😀

> Inside your open source OS, do you run proprietary software ?

Games and JavaScript in the browser, don't forget it's also software.

> Inside your open source OS, do you use proprietary drivers (like Nvidia drivers, proprietary AMD, certain wifi drivers...)

Not in main CPU but there is non-free firmware that the kernel uploads to the devices that I need to use.

Just the firmware that the kernel uploads to the devices, not on main CPU as far as I know.

in the future I think it would be better to use 1-10 scale for each individual thing insted of one list, OS and Browser being open-source is equally as important for me, but for games even 10 is too good of a rating

And also, please make clear separation if we are talking personal or work devices (work tools were mentioned in preference list)
Personaly I use and prefer OSS.
On company provided laptop I'm stuck with windows and whatever tools they choose

my daily driver is Linux now, with only one proprietary software (IDE for coding). I occasionally (maybe once/twice a year) need a Win VM though to run another proprietary software to do changes on my KNX bus configuration, because I did not manage to get it working in Wine/Bottles).
Oh, and gaming for now is still on win (trueNas server with win10 VM), but I plan on giving Bazzite or SteamOS a try once I have new hardware.

Hippo 🍉

is the "don't hesitate to fill again if you have multiple computers" specifically for those who said "proprietary" or for everyone? I have a Mobian phone so was wondering whether I'm supposed to fill it again for that. Most of the questions sounded like they were about me, though, not about the device, so maybe once per person is what's intended? 🤔
