  they aren’t all. vast majority is Windows Server and IBM.

    Windows has a laughable market share when it comes to webservers.

      I’m talking specifics, not globally.

        Nearly all of my daughters sites she visited in college were nix servers. The exception being one administration machine she used for her payroll access as a RA.

    Lol what? Linux servers are much higher in market share.

      Pearson directly, not globally.

        That makes more sense. Thank you for the context.

    Guess what most IBM big irons are running nowadays?

      Unix

        Well, AIX (one of IBMs UNIX variants) is old, and, AFAIK more or less legacy stuff. The other is RHEL, which is s Linux.

      Dust? (but really its not Linux or windows anyway)

      RHEL, since they bought red hat.

      z/OS

        For closed and proprietary stuff, and things that still run on FORTRAN and COBOL, yes. But about anything running a web frontend, it’s Linux (RHEL).

      AIX (Unix) Windows, Powervm?

      source

      • Treczoks@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Windows? On a mainframe? Microsoft may be ambicious, but that is a few number to big for them.

    That is both laughably wrong, and immediately verifiable as false. As far as server marketshare goes, Linux leads the pack with 62.7%.
