there are a lot more linux users out there than business users
- ddulaney 6y agoThis disagreement is why multiple distros exist. Ubuntu LTS is a reasonable choice for entities that want stability and are willing to accept the occasional migration cost of upgrading to the next LTS (note: this applies to lots of desktop users as well as businesses). Fedora and Arch are reasonable choices if you want cutting-edge software, but come with risks as software changes under them.
- ricktdotorg 6y ago> there are a lot more linux users out there than business users maybe, but there are a LOT more linux servers out there than linux users, if by "linux users" you meant "people running linux on their computers". those servers (and the people that run them) generally require stability. would you care explaining what you mean? is it not fair to say that there are many orders of magnitude more instances of linux running on servers than there are instances of linux running on people's home or work computers? that is indisputable, no?
- jcelerier 6y agoIt makes as much sense for me to count individual servers than to count individual docker containers. It's the amount of people administering those systems which matters - having many servers to manage just means that you have to know how to setup automation
