Linux dominates in the server space [1]:

* In 2021, 100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers run on Linux.

* Out of the top 25 websites in the world, only 2 aren’t using Linux.

* 96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux.

* 90% of all cloud infrastructure operates on Linux and practically all the best cloud hosts use it.
