Cannot fill in the survey because of this problem.
(1) In the flatpaks section, there is no provision for answering “no” to …
Do you use Flatpaks? If yes, please rank your preference for the flatpak collection you prefer to use
It comes back with …
This question is mandatory.
Arguably the ranking of flatpak providers themselves without context is not really possible too, what are the criteria?
I encountered this problem as well. I just selected one in order to advance in the survey. But I only use dnf.
However, I did write this feedback in the survey comments at the end… that there were major flaws in the survey.
It might be necessary to update some questions in the survey for the future - the question for which image viewer is preferred lists eog, but not loupe, while the latter is the default on Fedora Workstation now. Similarly, the question for which text editor is preferred lists gedit, but not gnome-text-editor, which is the new default.
I don’t care about development issues, abandoned projects, drama, or anything else.
I just want my PC to work.
EVERYONE just want their PCs to work.
If we compare this to getting food at the groceries’ store “picking the programs you want is just like picking the products; some things like the desktop and drivers are just expected to work, like shopping carts and cash registers; and the lack of kernel-level spyware is just the need to not have cockroaches eating and [doing a metabolism] on the food”.
Even for unusual users like me (1 2) stuff beyond this is WORTHLESS, because if I were to care about something so much more fundamental, down to the code itself of my OS (instead of just using it as the End User that I am) then I’d code a Distro myself for personal use instead.
Also Gwenview is the default image viewer for KDE Plasma, and is not listed.
The “How do you play games on Fedora” question deserved checkboxes. In my case, Lutris and Steam.
The “What is your preferred media player” question mixes audio and video players together, so it would deserve checkboxes too, or to be split into two questions. In my case, Spotify and VLC. Also, it would be interesting to see how many people use local media players vs streaming from somewhere (Spotify, Jellyfin, etc).
Ok I think I have caught all the typos and updated them now, and also edited the ‘primary’ wording to ‘preferred’ for development environment. I think I have also updated the Flatpak question to now be optional, the skip option clearly didnt implement properly. Id appreciate if folks could confirm this is indeed an optional question please.
For all the other feedback re question structure and options, thank you for sharing that with us. I will make sure this is collected and brought forward to next years survey. There is usually a council ticket open before we launch this survey so please keep an eye out for it (I will also announce when its open) and please contribute your ideas and suggestions to the ticket as comments or to discussion here when the bot opens it here too 
With regard to results, yes these will be published. The survey runs till June 30, 2025, so expect the results around late July to mid-August.
Thanks folks for the feedback and for taking the time to complete the survey, it is very much appreciated.
Filled this survey in yesterday
Why is the word “default” used to refer to Workstation? We don’t present a “default Edition” on the website quite intentionally.
Also neither Dragon, Haruna, nor Elisa are on the media player list, which are used in the KDE variants.
And KDevelop isn’t listed as an IDE…
I cant find the mention of ‘default’ anywhere in the survey since I updated some of the wording to use ‘preferred’, so maybe you need to refresh? You may have had an older version.
Wrt media players, the feedback given about question structuring and options will absolutely be taken and applied to next years survey 
Please use the ‘other’ field where it exists to add anything you (general you, not you specifically) use that is not listed as an option.
Thanks!
Can we not do that either? It isn’t really necessary…
Neal there’s nothing wrong with asking people what desktop they prefer. That’s their choice.
I tried to complete the survey, but after so many requirements to pick on preferred tool where I use different tools for different tasks and major tools such as those already mentioned are missing, I cannot proceed without being a gamer.
How do you play games on Fedora?
Choose one of the following answers
This question is mandatory
Requiring an answer to
How satisfied are you with community outreach
when there is no meaningful answer will lead to nonsense results. See also:
Have you considered … why not?
Since that is obviously nonsensical, perhaps you mean to ask those who have considered doing so but chosen to not do so, why they made that choice. At least “No answer” accurately answers the question.
How likely are you to recommend … to a friend?
This classic survey question always fails to consider the premise. The likelihood is unrelated to my opinion of the subject of the survey.
How do we review or go back and change answers without losing work?
For the record, I currently like and frequently use Chrome, Firefox, w3m, Thunderbird, Proton Mail, Mutt, Loupe, Google Photos, any web browser, Amberol, Youtube Music, pw-play, (GNOME) Text Editor, and vim in Ptyxis [How could you not ask about terminal emulators?!] on Fedora Workstation.
I couldn’t agree with you more…! Sheeesh…!

That’s not what I’m objecting to. I’m objecting to listing Workstation as Workstation (GNOME, default) or Workstation (GNOME, preferred).
Ah sorry we got our wires crossed. I thought you were referring to a question that has the word default in it, but you were referring to an answer with default listed. Thats a fair point and shouldn’t have been there. I found that mention and have deleted the word ‘default’ altogether so it now reads ‘Workstation (GNOME)’ only.
Super nitpicky on my part, but on the question “What is your preferred desktop environment”, one of options is “KDE” - in the future, could that be listed as “KDE Plasma”, since KDE refers to the overall project (with many different products) while Plasma is specifically the desktop environment?
Thanks!
Can we post a link to this survey on the official Fedora social media accounts? There isn’t one on Mastodon at least.
It might be good to improve the survey a bit first, before increasing it’s reach.
