Hold on and give me a bit... I ran across that a couple weeks ago, so let me track it down again.
It was explaining that because MS is now embracing and trying to commandeer Linux the actual usage has doubled in reality as a desktop by other brand names.
The others speak for themselves as fact when discussing linux web hosting, It is all now Linux Apache. Amazon AWS... Linux. Google... their own linux version. You and your own servers. And appliance/robotics firmware. The list goes on and on.
The only place left That is not Linux dominated is the desktop because of fear and the ignoranance. They do not know yet what peace of mind and freedom is truly available...
But once you do there is no going back unless someone else forces you to, like work.
I'm not arguing the stats here. Just stating what I'm seeing from my own experience.
Linux Server deployments 15 years ago at my employer were 1:3 (one Linux Server per every three Windows servers.)
Now that's not just reversed, it's overwhelmingly in favor of Linux Server v.s. Window Server (where I work.) Desktop hasn't changed. It's still overwhelmingly Windows vs. Linux though I *personally* have switched from Windows to Linux desktop (Ubuntu Linux w/my own themes and add-ons to be precise.)
I *suspect* we're not unique, where I work
