I'm actually a bit surprised to see Mint with so few users here. I expected Ubuntu to have less of a grip on the HN community than, say, Reddit or something. There's definitely a large Arch and Debian community, which is what I expected, but I certainly did not expect to see so many people using an OS that technical people pretty universally complain about. Mint Cinnamon == Ubuntu without some bloat and minus Unity (and plus a great UI called Cinnamon). That's very interesting to me.

I wondered about VPS/cloud server distros people are using, but there's a great comment here with several good answers. Looks like quite a few are using some kind of VPS out there.
