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?
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
