@MartyFouts @eliasp @EUCommission Yes, I guess you're talking about web servers when it comes to numbers where the statistics may be questionable. But I expect most DNS servers are run on Linux or a BSD flavor nowadays and without DNS the Internet is broken for most people. And Mastodon servers we're communicating on now I'd expect to be run on Linux mainly.

@brightside @eliasp @EUCommission On the other hand most BGP servers run on Cisco boxes that run proprietary RTOS and there are a lot more of those than DNS servers.
I’m not saying Linux has no presence on the net. I am saying that the statistics I see that claim that it dominates under count a lot of non Linux servers because of the way they are gathered.
