I'm not sure is you are joking or serious.
It is a verifiable fact. The vast majority of web services run on Linux.
96.3% of the top million web servers run Linux.
I was doubting the fact that the only function of windows is to run video games. Literally every business in the world runs on windows PCs
Because it's traditional. Businesses adopted computing in the 80s, and Linux wasn't around then. Macs and Windows were. It would just be too costly (in time obviously, not cash) for huge businesses to switch at this point.
Google things before getting them wrong
In the 80s? No. There was Unix, and it was expensive
I feel like that should be incredibly obvious, why would you want to run Windows on a web server outside of incredibly niche situations.
