But only a fraction of folks use Unix/Linux!
I've always assumed that fraction was about 4/5 but never examined that
assumption. Does anyone know the percentages of LyX users on:
Linux
Windows
Mac
BSD
Other
Just to start the ball rolling, I've always used LyX on Linux (since 2001) and
am currently using it on Ubuntu 9.0.4.
Just to kick the ball out of bounds, how do you count cross-platform
users? I have it on one XP box and two Ubuntu boxes, and I use it
heavily under both OSes.
When I first came across LyX (which goes back far enough that the only
Windows version was a port that required Cygwin), Linux users vastly
outnumbered Windows users. From list traffic, I suspect Linux is still
prevalent (followed by Windows, then Mac), but the "vastly" is likely no
longer true.
