2019 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Award Winners
 

The polls are closed and the results are in. We once again had some extremely close races (including 2 ties) and the large number of new categories this year certainly kept things interesting. Congratulations to each and every nominee. The official results:

Fixed - thanks.

A few surprises, many non-surprises in a Slackware-focused board... :)

Thank you, jeremy!

Yeah, I LOLed at these two:
Server Distribution of the Year - Debian Stable (26.81%)
Live Distribution of the Year - Slackware Live Edition (31.43%)

Rest were predictable.

Did I miss another poll?

Since you only have "1" post, I don't think so :)

Jazmann, What verndog means is, you are required to have at least one post prior to voting. Since you're only showing this one post...
logic says, you didn't vote if this is your first post. (Unless you registered and voted under another account.) Make sense?

nice :)

Normal results! Good job Jeremy!

Not that the results are surprising, but there's always some result that I'd not heard of, so it's a good list of "stuff to check out".

Hi all!

Uh, hi?

Thank you very much for the invitation
 

Thank you very much for the invitation :). Best wishes.
PS: How are you? I am from France :)

Jeremy suggestion, next round, include VoIP client? Instant Messenger?

Yeah Ubuntu is really nice product :D I voted

See this article about Ubuntu's popularity

With these polls having existed for years, I'm sure this has been said before and I just haven't seen it. But I question the usefulness of declaring a winner (referring to Ubuntu) with 15.68 percent. Were it left to me, I would say it's in the spirit of free, open-source software and of libertarianism to acknowledge that the votes in that category were too diverse to allow a clear winner. Because to create a majoritarian or even large pluralitarian winner, you would need the distros or other contestants to outcompete and eliminate some of the others. Free software doesn't do that.

But I suppose everyone knows that after so many years of polls, and that would be why this thread has moderate response after more than a month.

I count the "winner" as a technicality, but the poll as a useful look at how many users each option has.
