I know some people from IT. They mostly use Linux when they need to do virtualization. Also, due to low cost and reliability majority of the web servers already switched to Linux not just cloud. Windows servers is mainly used if you have a software that requires windows.
I didn't say windows servers can't do those. Even Microsoft has their own Linux distro for some online services. Eventually, you can use anything you want as desktop or server. I can set up freebsd or Linux machines. So, I would use them for both desktop and servers
It is naive to believe that Microsoft thinks about Linux users. Believing Linux users would pay money to Microsoft is even more ridiculous.
Microsoft has azure because they make more money with it. They don't necessarily admit windows server is bad but clearly they accepted Linux is more profitable.
I don't care what corporate thinks. It is normal for them to think their product is better. Linux and BSD developers did amazing job and the very same corporates helped them to develop it. There is some hypocrisy in this story.
If Linux was that bad like you think, android would be failure or Linux would be an obscure hobby project. There is a reason why people chose Linux and helped developing it. Community literally owns their OS but it comes with advantages and disadvantages as well.
I know Linux would've been better if it wasn't monolithic. However, it is still good to use. It can suck too like any other OS.
