![GNOME 的研究报告说，超过 90% 的系统安装了 Flatpak](/data/attachment/album/202301/29/151551o4zomo3001k4yvam.jpg)


在 2022 年 8 月，GNOME 开发了 [一个工具](https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-improve-tool/)，让用户可以匿名提供关于他们的系统配置、扩展和 GNOME 调整的设置。


这是为了**帮助 GNOME 深入了解**用户的偏好，并在分析数据的基础上做出更好的决定。


GNOME 设计团队的成员 [Allan Day](https://twitter.com/allanday) 在最近的一篇博文中分享了收集的数据。它包含了一些有趣的洞察和发现。


让我带你了解一下：


### 研究报告的发现


本研究报告包括来自 2,517 个用户的数据，这些用户的硬件和软件配置各不相同。

> ? 这些数据是使用 [gnome-info-collect 工具](https://gitlab.gnome.org/vstanek/gnome-info-collect/) 从向 GNOME 提供数据的人那里获得的，并不代表 GNOME 的全部用户。
> 
> 
> 


最初，他们收到了 2,560 个回复，但由于一些数据没有来自使用 GNOME 的系统或来自虚拟机，他们不得不从数据集中删除一些。


它包含什么？它含有匿名的非敏感数据指标，显示了用户是如何设置他们的系统的。



> 
> ? 这对 GNOME 团队来说可以有很大的用处，他们现在可以使用这些数据来做出设计和开发的决定。

其中一个引起我们注意的数据指标是在他们的 GNOME 系统上使用 Flatpak 的人的百分比。


**超过 90% 的系统都安装了 Flatpak。**


在 2517 个用户中，有高达 2344 个用户在他们的 GNOME 系统上安装了 Flatpak。其中 2,102 人完全启用了它。


在这样一个小的数据集中，这是一个巨大的数字！ ?


关于这一点，Allan 有这样的补充说明：



> 
> Flatpak 和 Flathub 对 GNOME 的战略方向至关重要，所以了解它们的采用程度是很有用的。这种采用程度也与 GNOME 的软件应用设计有关。
> 
> 
> 


除此之外，一些关键的收获包括：


* 最常用的默认网页浏览器是 Mozilla Firefox。
* 在使用 GNOME 的人中，最常用的发行版是 Fedora。
* 谷歌是配置了在线账户的用户的首选账户。
* GIMP 是安装在 GNOME 上最受欢迎的应用程序之一，紧随其后的是 VLC。
* 83% 的用户至少启用了一个 GNOME 扩展。


我建议你通过该 [研究报告](https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2023/01/18/gnome-info-collect-what-we-learned/) 来获得更深入的了解。


### 这是否有助于改善 GNOME 的体验？


收集这些数据是为了通过分析和提供给设计和开发团队来改善桌面体验。


然而，收集到的数据仍然相当有限，可能无法代表大多数的 GNOME 用户。


为了解决这个问题，博文中提到：



> 
> 总的来说，这些数据对于 GNOME 项目应该专注于哪些功能给出了一些有力的提示。它也提供了关于哪些功能不应该被优先考虑的证据。需要记住的是，虽然我们在这里有关于一些 GNOME 用户做出的决定的证据，但这些数据并没有让我们深入了解为什么他们会做出这样的决定。
> 
> 
> 


GNOME 团队希望在根据这些数据做出决定时保持谨慎。而且，像这样的调查应该能让他们更好地了解用户的偏好，并把重点放在基本层面上更重要的东西上。


当然，不可能照顾到每一种类型的用户。但是，只要基本面得到了照顾，桌面体验最终应该得到改善。

In **August 2022**, GNOME developed [a tool](https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-improve-tool/) that let users provide anonymous insights about their system configuration, extension, and GNOME-tuned settings.

This was meant to **help GNOME learn** more about its users' preferences and to make better decisions based on analyzing the data.

[Allan Day](https://twitter.com/allanday?ref=news.itsfoss.com), a member of the GNOME design team, shared the collected data in a recent blog post. It contains some interesting insights and findings.

Let me take you through it.

## Research Report Findings

The research report consists of **data from 2,517 users** across varying hardware and software configurations.

[gnome-info-collect tool](https://gitlab.gnome.org/vstanek/gnome-info-collect/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), and does not represent the whole user base of GNOME.

Initially, they had received **2,560 responses**, but they had to remove some from the dataset due to them not using a GNOME installation or being on a virtual machine.

**What does it contain?: **It has anonymized non-sensitive data metrics that show how users were setting up their systems.

**great use to the GNOME team**, who can now use this data to make design and developmental decisions.

One such data metric that caught our eye was the **percentage of people using Flatpak** on their GNOME system.

**Over 90% of systems had Flatpak installed.**

Of the 2,517 users, a whopping 2,344 users had Flatpak installed on their GNOME system. With 2,102 of them having it fully enabled.

That is a huge number in such a small data set! 🤯

On this, Allan had this to add:

Flatpak and Flathub are both important to GNOME’s strategic direction, so it is useful to know the extent of their adoption. This adoption level is also relevant to the design of GNOME’s Software app.

**Other than that, some key takeaways included:**

- The most used default web browser was
**Mozilla Firefox**. - The most used distro among the participants with GNOME was
**Fedora**. **Google**was the account of choice for users using the online account configuration feature.**GIMP**was one of the most popular apps installed on GNOME, followed closely by**VLC**.**83%**of users had at least one**GNOME extension**enabled.

I suggest you go through the [research report](https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2023/01/18/gnome-info-collect-what-we-learned/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to get an even more in-depth look.

## Will This Help Improve the GNOME Experience?

Collecting this data was to improve the desktop experience by analyzing it and providing it to the design and development teams.

However, the data collected is still quite limited and may not represent the majority of GNOME users.

To address that, the blog post mentions:

Overall, the data gives some strong hints about which features should be concentrated on by the GNOME project. It also provides evidence about which features shouldn’t be prioritized.

It needs to be remembered that, while we have evidence here about some of the decisions that some GNOME users are making, the data doesn’t give us much insight into why they are making the decisions that they are.

The GNOME team wants to be cautious about making decisions based on this data. And, surveys like these should give them a better understanding of user preferences and focus on what's more important on a fundamental level.

Of course, it is impossible to cater to every type of user. But, as long as the fundamentals have been taken care of, the desktop experience should eventually improve.
