I don't want to add a question only for that *but*:
- I bet that the number of Debian & Ubuntu users will pretty much tell
us how many of our users know GNOME already because it's the default
environment on both and it should be fine to assume that Windows and
macOS users don't really use GNOME elsewhere than Tails. It's not
going to be super precise data but it will give us an order or
magnitude.
- I'm super happy to see you excited about doing other surveys! It's
definitely the idea. I didn't invest so much work in LimeSurvey just
to use it once :) We've been discussing maintenance and security with
intrigeri quite in depth and the plan is to use it for VeraCrypt only
this year and do an evaluation after that and probably make more
plans.

Thanks for double-checking!

I added a few of optional "comment" fields on questions where people
might be most interested to tell us about "why" and "how" without being
intrusive:
- What type of VeraCrypt volumes are you using?
- How often do you create a hidden volume in your VeraCrypt volumes?
- What do you use to protect your VeraCrypt volumes?

Cool!
Tonight I did a first test with a user and it was quite useful. It made
me fix some phrasing and add the optional "comment" fields. Maybe I'll
do another one tomorrow, but then I'll make it live.
