Subject: [bug#75741] [PATCH 1/1] website: add the second post covering the Guix User and Contributor Survey 2024.
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2025 23:39:24 +0100

Hi Steve,

Maybe, it could clarify by adding a sentence as:

        As a reminder there were 943 full responses to the survey, of this 53%
        were from users and 32% were from contributors.  Take the results with
        some grain of salt–such survey has its own limitation and bias!
        Nonetheless, it draws an helpful and insightful picture of Guix.
        Thanks to all responders!

I would add a sentence here.  Something like: “Although hardware that
respects Freedom is available, hardware requiring proprietary drivers is
sadly the norm.”

Somehow, a sentence clarifying that an “half-choice“ for most of us. :-)

I know it’s boring and that’s only a suggestion for my own comfort. ;-)
Would it be possible to sort?  On the other hand, it implies to redraw
the histogram; I do not know if my own comfort is worth the extra
effort. :-)

LGTM!

Cheers,
simon
