On the other hand, Red Hat's revenue is steadily growing[1] and there are very few RHEL desktop users. Fedora is probably also less popular than Ubuntu and its derivatives.

- bryanlarsen 9y agoI'd be very surprised if Ubuntu's revenue wasn't increasing at a much higher rate than Red Hat's.
- danieldk 9y agoInteresting question. Some data points that I could find. Canonical: 2009: ~30M, 2013: 65.7M, 2016: 103.3M Red Hat: 2013: ~1.4B, 2015: ~1.8B, 2016: ~2.1B, 2017: 2.4B Consequently: Canonical 2013-2016: ~1.57x, Red Hat 2013-2016: 1.71x. So, their revenue seems to be increasing at a slower rate and Red Hat's revenue is almost twentyfold that of Canonical. Moreover, Red Hat is operating on a quite large profit, while Canonical is on a loss.
- bryanlarsen 9y agoThanks, the last Canonical revenue figures I could find were the 2013 ones.
