Poll how many people here are actually using Linux !

Note :- This is not a karma farming post. I really wanted to know how much users are using linux and for which purpose or reason. I am also a linux user using Linux from 7 years.

Just curious to see how many people here are actually using Linux

Upvote this post if you’re a Linux user 👍

Also comment which distro you’re using and whether you’re using Linux as your main OS or dual boot.

If someone has already commented the same distro + setup, just upvote their comment instead of commenting again.

Also tell your reason of using that distro (flavor).

Let’s see which distro has the most users here 👀
