Nix Community Survey 2026

Welcome to this year's Nix Community Survey. It takes 10 to 15 minutes.

Your answers help the Nix teams and the NixOS Foundation decide what to work on: which platforms to support, where the documentation is failing people, and what stops people from using Nix more than they do. Results are published as aggregates at nixos.org/surveys, alongside previous years.

The survey is anonymous. We do not ask for your name or email address, we do not record your IP address, and we do not store timestamps. The questions about you, such as age, country and work, are here so we can tell whether we are hearing from the whole community or only part of it. Every question can be skipped.

There are 45 questions in this survey.
This survey is anonymous.

The record of your survey responses does not contain any identifying information about you, unless a specific survey question explicitly asked for it.

If you used an identifying access code to access this survey, please rest assured that this code will not be stored together with your responses. It is managed in a separate database and will only be updated to indicate whether you did (or did not) complete this survey. There is no way of matching identification access codes with survey responses.
