Reply to comment by GreatBigJerk in Ubuntu Pro enters general availability by Doener23

In industry, it’s still very popular. For instance, I work for a big biotech company and we deploy Ubuntu as the OS in a lot of our instruments.

I was thinking more for the average desktop user, but yeah it's a standard under the hood for a lot of things.

In software development, it's pretty common to have Ubuntu running under the hood for things like GitHub actions, web services, and now things like Windows WSL.
