But are there more different kinds of toothbrush than there are on the planet? 🤔

Industry analysts say the fragmentation is beginning to present logistical challenges. A typical Linux application must now support approximately 400 different distributions, 42 desktop environments, 7 competing display servers, and a window manager developed by a man who refuses to use a mouse for philosophical reasons.

Oh I was being a bit silly for sure.

I am daily driving Mint and messing around with Docker on my homelab at the moment.

You could also say that everyone uses Linux because the internet (servers) is pretty much all Linux.

Or the billions of Android devices that covers the majority of all mobile devices.
