Debian and Ubuntu winners in the Linux server market

The data is clear and the numbers speak of a clear winner in the field of enterprise servers within the Linux branch. Both, Ubuntu and Debian are nominated as clear winners and have more than 50% of the market share. A very flattering trend for our favorite operating system that, however, collides with the data obtained by the version of Red Hat and Fedora where its figures continue to fall.

The world of servers constitutes a very different section from the domestic sphere and, I speak from my own experience, around three-quarters of the computers that are configured use a Linux-based operating system. This gives a clear idea of the importance of this operating system in the world of large companies, where some of the distributions is usually the base of another product that runs on top.

The graphs do not lie and the results offered by W3Tech regarding the use of Linux distributions in the business environment and, specifically, in corporate servers give a clear advantage to Ubuntu and Debian distributions.

With a similar result, Ubuntu and Debian reap 32.1% values ​​compared to the next most used distribution. It is CentOS, with 20,4%, which is well above the following.

Ultimately, we find a series of curious figures such as those left by Red Hat, being used in 3.9% of the stations, Gentoo with 2.7% and finally, with almost residual relevance, Fedora and SUSE, with 1,1% and 1,0%. The distance that the first two distributions keep from the rest is relevant and that they give a clear idea of ​​the market trends for the coming years.

Taking into account the Alexa ranking of the 10 million most visited websites (in the graph shown, the percentage is calculated based on the total operating systems, which includes both Windows and Unix systems), Ubuntu ranks as the strongest system in Europe, especially in countries like Latvia, Hungary and also, within the Asian continent, in China and Japan.

We hope these figures will encourage the folks at Canonical and continue to invest heavily within the corporate sector. And you Have you tried to install in your home or business any distribution for companies that we have talked about?
