Fedora may be becoming the default for desktops, not for servers (Debian possibly the default for servers).

  Actually on servers RHEL is still the default (43% server OS market share), followed by Ubuntu at 34%, Debian at 16% and SuSE at 11%. https://commandlinux.com/statistics/linux-server-market-share/ https://commandlinux.com/statistics/linux-server-market-shar...

    Enterprises love RHEL because of the paid support, even if they never use it, it's "there".

      Red Hat will also support you using 15 year old versions of Linux if you pay them enough, the military love that.

      CYA is SOP. gotta have an escalation path or other fallbacks.

    They're talking about billions of dollars of market share, so how does debian get a mention being free? I'm suspicious of their methodology. At least the infographics down the bottom are obviously full of slop

    No sources cited, and the supposed author churns out multiple articles a day on Linux, gambling, and AI content strategy. Not sure I'd put any weight whatsoever on those figures! (and how would they even compare a commercial offering with something like Debian that doesn't even have popcon enabled by default?)

  Fedora is upstream for RHEL, which is absolutely dominant in the server space some sectors that require enterprise support.

  Why do you think Debian for servers only ? Did you use Debian SID or Testing as a desktop ?
