From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Context clues my dude. You said it yourself, Linux runs the majority of servers, so what would be "the recent rise of Linux" talking about? Linux for end user clients (desktop).
That's like saying "With the recent rise of EVs, we're super excited about the air being cleaner"...and you're talking about Tesla. Context clues are pointless in your example, "dude".
