I didNOT 'cheat' by looking at past years! Based on reading a lot.
In forum order (all) &recognizeable (sorry, too much to copy&paste cat.)
vi(=vim?) c=common vs. others, so will win by landslide, >2:1 (over#2)
Linux Mint (close race w/ Ubu, Slack)
GIMP c
LibreOffice c
VirtualBox c (I voted [here, &only a few others])
Fluxbox (close maybe; I [nonGUI] don't know
these! no wonder mixed-up w/ DE)
VLC (slim win; not sure which other 2 will be close)
RHEL ('bully'; 1.5:1 ; I voted 'nice' CentOS)
Eclipse (wild-guess on what sounds familiar; close w/ IDLE, Atom, couple more)
Python (close w/ Perl, C, PHP, Java)
Tux Racer (?; not a gamer; predict low voting here; several [Idk] close)
MATE (close w/ Plasma=KDE, Cin, Gnome, Unity, Enl, LXQt, Xfce!)
Thunar (close w/ Konqueror, Dolphin, couple more)
Firefox (1.5x Chrome; Opera close next, QupZilla half Opera, few more close, then stragglers)
Muse (?)
RhythmBox , VLC
rsync tar Clonezilla 3wayTie, then Deja Dup 10%
Sunday Morning Linux Review, FLOSS, couple others, then low%'ers (better than Muzak!)
ext4 c
Dell c (too bad 'biggest' wins)
Nextcloud ?
Arduino c (but R-Pi *by far*; post#6 mentions why not listed [maybe?])
dpkg (2:1 RPM; slackpkg pkgtool Pacman about 10% each; I voted cards [NuTyX
]
MariaDB c
xterm c
Blender KDEnlive Lightworks (3way)
Skype c
HexChat c
Puppet Chef Ansible Cfengine (close)
Android c
Nagios Core c (few others half as much)
LXC (>2:1 Docker)
AppArmor (2;1 SEL, tripwire half)
ClamAV (fail2ban close)
Linux Mag, Jnl, Fmt (close then Ubu; Idk)
NoScript Tor Tails LastPass KeePassX (all close; couple more)
Idea: IF a 'c' wins by >3x 2nd place'er, -next year-, tho listed, it canNOT be voted on!
I wonder how that would 'skew' the results... Votes wouldn't necessarily ALL go to 2nd!
Are there multi-year [superimposed] graphs? (see who incr if #1 'c' 'blocked')
Who do YOU think will be the winners?
