The problem with windows sever, is that free is hard to beat.

Ubuntu / Debian is. A lot of startups don't care about "official support" -- at least until they're big enough that price is not a factor anymore.

The problem with Ubuntu? Lack of games and applications... and a desktop that people have to learn to use vs tried and true Windows.

Ubuntu has games and applications? Come back when Call of Duty 87 or Office 2016 works on Linux...

It's 2016, Steam is available on Linux. I even managed to run AoE2 HD on Wine.

> Call of Duty

All you need is CS:GO. And you can get it on Linux. ;)

The one I linked is websites running on Linux. Besides we're splitting hairs, right?

It just comes down to the fact that most enterprises like having technical support.
