How many people actually use Ubuntu server? (alien.top)

Pretty much the title. I've seen plenty of people using proxmox and truenas but I don't really see many homelab users running Ubuntu server or something similar? Do many people actually use it to run docker or any containers on their machines? Just curious.

Probably there is some people here running VMs with Ubuntu Server in their Proxmox machines.

Debian all the way here.

I've run both, and I prefer Ubuntu. One massive plus being that it has better out-of-the-box support for drivers.

My server hardware doesn't change often. Not a huge plus.

I was on the Ubuntu wagon before Debian. Many reasons I switched but the final straw was the bloat that kept being added to Ubuntu. Not huge but Debian uses less resources and seems to be more stable, in my experience.

I'd still use Ubuntu in some settings. Just not my lab VMs.
