Shouldn't it be debian doing all the heavy lifting?

[-] eli@lemmings.world 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Right lol totally backwards, spotting is easy

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't basically all server space some Ubuntu variant?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Downvotes like this is why I'm hating lemmy. OP asks an honest question:

Nerds: FUCK YOU!

Yes, the majority of servers are Linux, and yes, most are Debian, of which Ubuntu is a variant.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 11 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't say that.

RHEL/Centos/Alma and their derivates are very popular in enterprise contexts. Unless you count docker images based on Debian, I've literally never seen a non-RPM based distro being used by the companies I worked for.

Redhat isn't worth billions without a reason.

I've run across Ubuntu in the wild once and I don't work in tech - I was in Target and one of the self checkout machines was Ubuntu having a kernel panic.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't say Ubuntu isn't used, but it's by far not as clear cut as the previous comment made it look.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I would consider downvotes one way of saying no without needing to go through a bunch of effort typing out a reply that will recieve the equivalent upvotes.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

What a mood. People wonder why the Linux community didn't hit mainstream years ago

Thanks for giving a reasonable response

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 6 points 3 weeks ago

I would sure hope not

Until late 2023 the hoster of one of our customers used Gentoo on its web and DB servers. I was surprised when i found out. They switched everything to docker later and i have no idea what it is now.

Thank you for your witty and concise answer!

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yes and no. Would make sense in os point of view, but not in the gym spotting sense

[-] 4oreman@lemy.lol 0 points 3 weeks ago

I have to ask, when was the last time you even looked at a screenshot of Ubuntu? That script is from the Unity era. The first lines remove a shopping lense. Not a thing since 2016. And even if it was still somehow valid which it's not, it's mostly hardening the OS. Yes, stock Ubuntu is not an impenetrable fortress. No distro is.

Also the stupid script removes a local logging service which is not used anymore either, but here's a thread about it https://askubuntu.com/questions/180990/what-is-zeitgeist-used-for

[-] 4oreman@lemy.lol -2 points 3 weeks ago

ok but all the other telemetry in the script is still there
