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.

I use it often when I want linux with a gui. There may be better distributions for specific tasks, but ubuntu is easy to install, upgrade, and use. It surely beats the old days of running make menuconfig and make install.

For headless/containers I use alpine for the minimalist approach and just add what I need through a package manager unless I need something more custom.
