2018 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Award Winners
The polls are closed and the results are in. We once again had some extremely close races and the large number of new categories this year certainly kept things interesting. Congratulations to each and every nominee. The official results:

Thanks again for the time you've spent organising this, Jeremy.

ditto - thanks!

I lose on openSUSE every year, but always win on KDE and Dolphin! Long life the Konqui

I've used vim when it first came out on a UNIX system. Glad to see others use it as well.

Most of the winners don't surprise me, as always.

The results are always a bit skewed by the people who vote in the polls, this year we have the unofficial Slackers forum skewing the server category, but it's only a bit of fun really. :)
(Plus I don't vote in all categories, so that will also skew the results.) ;) |

I of course don't know how the forum software works but I'm fairly sure that it wouldn't be as easy as that, if not a whole lot of work to implement. How would you do it anyway? Would all votes count equally? If a person votes for multiple selections in a category, would their vote be split between the different choices? Would votes grade them by preference and single transferable vote come into play? |

The exact formula behind the results is up to the admin, of course.

Feedback:
I think the Network Security Tool poll wasn't very fair. Not every tool was necessarily an alternative to the one below it nor were all necessarily completing the same thing or contained identical purpose. While they were all related to Network Security, some of the tools mentioned weren't solely used for this and some even expanded to other use-cases or scenarios.
The fact that WireShark won confuses me since it is related to Network Security, but only a certain aspect of it (auditing, compliance, etc.). There were tools on that list/poll that have other purposes and are used for things aside from Network Security. I think it would be better if next time, a specific program genre/type poll related to security was created instead of putting together seemingly related tools (e.g. Sniffer, IDS/IPS, etc.). Just my two-cents. :hattip: |

I find most of the results reasonable. That doesn't mean I agree with all of them by any means, but I'm just one vote.
For an opt-in poll, I must say that this is one of the better ones. |
:thumbsup:

There is another solution that I am using,
