Infographic: Ubuntu Linux Is Everywhere
prisoninmate writes: To celebrate the launch of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, due for release later this month, on April 21, Canonical put together an interesting infographic, showing the world how popular Ubuntu is. From the infographic, it looks like there are over 60 million Ubuntu images launched by Docker users, 14 million Vagrant images of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS from HashiCorp, 20 million launches of Ubuntu instances during 2015 in public and private clouds, as well as bare metal, and 2 million new Ubuntu Cloud instances launched in November 2015. Ubuntu is used on the International Space Station, on the servers of popular online services like Netflix, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, Dropbox, PayPal, Wikipedia, and Instagram, in Google, Tesla, George Hotz, and Uber cars. It is also employed at Bloomberg, Weta Digital and Walmart, at the Brigham Young University to control the Mars Rover, and it is even behind the largest supercomputer in the world.

> MS should buy them out not just partner with them
If MS started offering Ubuntu long ago and not just now, they'd be rich by now!
SQL Server on Linux, and now Bash on Windows... MS-Linux is coming.
Here's my conspiracy theory: they annoyed everyone with Metro, then Windows 10, just to pave the way for MS-Linux. Brilliant.
lucm, indeed.
That's Arch. We had a guy try it six years ago and he still hasn't returned from the installation process.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Clearly Red Hat is for inbred racists then.
Microsoft support is much better!
They have an Indian guy in South Africa call you to tell you when something is wrong on your computer, then guide you through a fix using their downloadable tool, and if that fails, you can pay them to simply fix it for you!
Did wonders for my Macbook Pro!
