"...Linux is dominating on servers and supercomputers. Linux pretty much mops up every market it's in..."

Is this true? I work in health care, and I don't know of any hospital that runs all Linux... But maybe it is just health care. This isn't a troll post, this seemed like an over the top statement, but it could be my ignorance.

I work for a very large hospital, and we run a LOT of Linux.

Servers, not desktops.

Linux is running behind the scenes. Its running on the data warehouses and webservers. We switched to SUSE Linux from our proprietary flavor of Linux several years ago. I don’t know of any clients that run their desktops on Linux though which is where Linux falls short. Android is of course a Linux based operating system and is dominating both tablets and smart phones.
