Most servers around the world run Linux. The same goes for almost all supercomputers. That's astonishing in a capitalist world where absolutely everything is commodified.

Both Microsoft and Amazon have their own flavor of Linux now, but that’s really only for use in AWS and azure - and no one really uses either much yet
