I think they do care. In the gaming community, Ubuntu has gone from about 40% to 10% marketshare since 2018.

Now, you might say this is because of the influence of SteamOS, but I think you’d be hard pressed to argue that Ubuntu has been getting more popular overall.

Linux users have a choice while iOS and Android users essentially don’t.

I am talking in relation server market share since the ad is targeted towards people running servers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ubuntu server has lost marketshare to other Linux distributions, but I don’t know that I have any way to verify it.
