So I’m guessing you have never heard of AWS then…

I'm not talking about cloud. I'm talking about businesses with 1-300 employees. Most of them I've seen use cloud for backups or a few services. Most business stuff is on prem. File storage is probably 50/50 on prem / SharePoint / Google Drive. In the hundreds of business I've worked with, I could count on my 2 hands the number of Linux server I've seen. Most of the stuff they're running doesn't even support Linux.

The organizations that run the most servers, at the largest scale, run Linux. It makes better operational and financial sense. But sure. The Mom and Pops of America still use Windows. (Who ever got fired for buying Windows?) Yet the backbone of the modern Internet, cloud and web, is built on open-sourced software.

Mom and pop is most of the workforce which is what this site seems to forget. Most people don't work for a fortune 500 company.

Yeah, that is a fair reality check for us terminal junkies.
