I have no idea what victory you are talking about. Linux dominates roughly everything, except desktop. You can go argue about your own things somewhere else.

EDIT: runs -> dominates

Linux kernel yes, GNU/Linux only dominates the server room, and fails everywhere else.

A kernel alone doesn't make an operating system.

Modern sysadmin does not use GNU for servers.

A server is an appliance. Just needs a Linux kernel, a container daemon, and a target application binary. The end.

A server is an appliance. Just needs a type 1 hypervisor, a container daemon, and a target application binary. The end.
