Out of the top 25 websites in the world, only 2 aren’t using Linux.

96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux.

90% of all cloud infrastructure operates on Linux.

Even at Microsoft they run most stuff on Linux.

72% of phones are running Linux.

Look at any tech jobs site. How many jobs are for writing Microsoft Windows or macOS desktop or iOS phone software compared to for writing Linux applications? A tiny tiny proportion.

To be clear, if you were in a meeting at work and your boss asked you how to make money programming for linux, you would say to write Android apps, and you think that no one would roll their eyes from you purposely ignoring the point of the question to say something that is pragmatically nonsense and only makes sense in an extremely warped redefinition of a question?
