How convenient for a lazy bugger like me. My choice was listed first. Debian. : )

Unstickied given the poll's age, there's no way to update the poll options, and we can get similar information from the Steam/SourceForge download counts.

For SourceForge it'd just be the weekly downloads of the .dmg vs the .exe files of the most recent version. The steam stats aren't publicly available, but I doubt there's a practical way to game them (plus we don't actually use the percentage of OS usage for anything anyway).

Note that OS's not currently receiving regular security updates (macOS 10.9 & earlier and Microsoft Vista & earlier) are not listed in the poll. For these, please use 'None of the Above' and comment in this thread.

I wonder if it'll run on my Windows 98 SE. Unlikely I imagine. Probably requires more than 128 MB of RAM. I won't speculate about my Windows 95C or my DOS 6.22 or my DOS 3.2 or my C=128 & Atari 800... <grin> Hmmm how to squish Wesnoth into 48 KB of RAM... well that's OK, someone once squished Star Raiders into 8 KB! Good enough. Brilliant in fact. God those old computers are magnificent.

As the narrator from Spongebob says "4 years laturrr." I did actually run (couple years back) 0.3 on Win98SE and it worked fine. So I guess I'll have to update my vote with a second tick under other. : )

Now I'm using Windows 8, but before had a Linux - RHEL. I feel much more comfortable with Windows 8.

MacOS Big Sur
iOS

But the iOS version has a very buggy MP experience. Ways to crash the app: idle in the lobby, scrolling the games in lobby, after DC when the display locks too long, end/quit any game. Turnaround has been to quickly join/observe a game from lobby and turn off auto-display lock and keep it continuously on.
Take a breath.

Usually I use Window$ 7 to play Wesnoth, because I'm not good at using GNU/Linux.

Interesting that Windows in total beats the Linux users in total by a bit (numbers-wise that is). But not that much. I found that interesting.

Normally Linux ranges in about 3% of the total percentage. Granted, gamers will show another percentage ratio
but still I found it interesting.
