The great advantage that Ubuntu have by being the most popular Desktop distro is not making money from desktop users. The advantage is that some of those desktop users are also developers, so when they need to deploy their system in Server/Cloud/IoT/whatever, they choose Ubuntu because this is the distro that they developed their application to begin with.
So yeah, desktop is a afterthought for Canonical, however it is still important.

- ex3ndr 10y agoThere no need to use Ubuntu if you can use debian. Debian is almost same and very light. Ubuntu doesn't feels like this.
