Nearly all of my daughters sites she visited in college were nix servers. The exception being one administration machine she used for her payroll access as a RA.
Edit: ;) I guess you are all guessing poorly. Nix when I looked it up is just another fringe linix distro. Never heard of it because I don’t need a purpose built crippled distro for anything. Since a guess is too hard to do I will tell you even now most websites I access according to my router stats are Linix distros. Every now and then there will be a bsd based one and ever rarer than that a windows site. I’m see these downvotes as a function of bias against the norm. I find it funny and responses like this always bring a smile to my face.
they aren’t all. vast majority is Windows Server and IBM.
edit: because people seem confused. I’m talking about Pearson directly, not global OS stats.
chill tf out Linux weebs. I’m one of you.
Windows has a laughable market share when it comes to webservers.
I’m talking specifics, not globally.

By “nix” do you actually mean Nix, or do you mean “*nix” as any Unix derivative?
Guess.

Lol what? Linux servers are still dominant in market share.
Pearson directly, not globally.
That makes more sense. Thank you for the context.
Guess what most IBM big irons are running nowadays?
RHEL, since they bought red hat.
Unix
Well, AIX (one of IBMs UNIX variants) is old, and, AFAIK more or less legacy stuff. The other is RHEL, which is s Linux.
The world runs on legacy
z/OS
For closed and proprietary stuff, and things that still run on FORTRAN and COBOL, yes. But about anything running a web frontend, it’s Linux (RHEL).
Dust? (but really its not Linux or windows anyway)
AIX (Unix), Windows, Powervm?
Windows? On a mainframe? Microsoft may be ambicious, but that is a few number to big for them.
That is both laughably wrong, and immediately verifiable as false. As far as server marketshare goes, Linux leads the pack with 62.7%.
