Title: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: Marble of Doom on August 12, 2009, 09:27:43 AM It doesn't matter about flavors or versions, just matters the software in general.
Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: HITMAN on August 12, 2009, 09:53:04 AM So, what is the reasoning for your poll? Plain curoisity? Developing things for OA? Making a virus but dont know which OS it should attack?
Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: Udi on August 12, 2009, 11:02:57 AM I think it's always interesting whether the open source game development method brings more open source os users and they can counterbalance the market share of a closed source operating system. We did this poll once with the Hungarian Community of Battle for Wesnoth (GPLed turn based strategy game) and it turned out that 53% of the users play on Linux and 47% on Windows, and noone on MacOSX or BSD or Solaris or other. It was an under 100 votes poll, and only for a small country, these results can be much different.
Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: Cacatoes on August 12, 2009, 12:41:13 PM You can have an eye on stats of TuxFamily download mirror (http://stats.download.tuxfamily.org/awstats.pl?config=openarena&framename=mainright&output=osdetail), sorted by Operating System.
This month, 60% of persons who downloaded OA on that mirror are running Windows. Around 10% of Linux users, running mainly Ubuntu. However, linux distributions have their own repositories, so we can hope most users use them and don't appear in stats ;) We have got stats of our french wiki and forum (http://stats.tuxfamily.org/openarena.tuxfamily.org/) which are more optimistic towards Linux, with 500 unique visitors by month, 45% is Linux, 45% Windows, rest is Mac. ;) Title: Re: What's Your Operating System?

It doesn't matter about flavors or versions, just matters the software in general. Using win XP or win vista/7 is a huge difference. Almost as much as XP/ubuntuTitle: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: Marble of Doom on August 12, 2009, 06:56:08 PM I know xp and vista are both very different but they are both forms of windows. I am just curios to see how the community is set up.
Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: fromhell on August 12, 2009, 11:38:09 PM 98SE and XP are also very different forms of Windows.
Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: RMF on August 13, 2009, 04:02:55 PM I'm actually supprised there are more Linux here than windows and mac together. It's obvious that a game like this attracts more linux, but that it's that much I never would have thought!
Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: davidd on August 19, 2009, 04:33:53 PM Linux makes a nice Desktop, but for my server i run freebsd.
So define using: i am mostly behind linux, but my freebsd machine makes more hours. Title: Re: What's Your Operating System? Poll Post by: jukeboxhero on August 19, 2009, 10:31:11 PM Windows XP SP3

I thought that whole crowd went on to use Haiku. |
