Rust is in the top when it comes to most loved languages. I also note that they claim Windows is the most used OS, but when you summarize the different Linux distros, then Linux is more used professionally and almost as popular for Personal use.

It's a bit annoying that the survey has one "Windows" and one "MacOS" answer, but the "Linux" answer is split between "Ubuntu", "Debian", "Arch", etc. I get that Android or WSL are their own category, but detailing the traditional distros makes them look less common.

A grouped "Linux" category would likely be bigger than MacOS and close to Windows (hard to say exactly because many respondents use multiple OSes).

But then how can I feel superior for using Arch? ;)

* Arch btw

And as someone pointed out in another forum, this was most likely a multi-choise question so it is impossible to know the true Linux percentage.

Yes, I pointed that out too: "many respondents use multiple OSes".

But SO releases the data as CSV after a while, and depending on how they anonymize it the "N users ticked Windows+Ubuntu+Arch+Android" info might sill be available and convertible into "N users ticked Windows+Linux+Android".
