Sister communities:
Community rules (click to expand)
1. Follow the site-wide rules
- Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

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.
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.
I wouldn't say that.
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.
Redhat isn't worth billions without a reason.
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.
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
