I would consider downvotes one way of saying no without needing to go through a bunch of effort typing out a reply that will recieve the equivalent upvotes.
RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I’ve literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.
I’ve run across Ubuntu in the wild once and I don’t work in tech - I was in Target and one of the self checkout machines was Ubuntu having a kernel panic.
Until late 2023 the hoster of one of our customers used Gentoo on its web and DB servers. I was surprised when i found out. They switched everything to docker later and i have no idea what it is now.
Isn’t basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?
LMAO, no.
Thank you for your witty and concise answer!
Downvotes like this is why I’m hating lemmy. OP asks an honest question:
Nerds: FUCK YOU!
Yes, the majority of servers are Linux, and yes, most are Debian, of which Ubuntu is a variant.

Redhat isn’t worth billions without a reason.

I didn’t say Ubuntu isn’t used, but it’s by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.
What a mood. People wonder why the Linux community didn’t hit mainstream years ago
Thanks for giving a reasonable response
I would sure hope not
