MODERATORS
Isn’t it mostly unix servers?
No? Unix is not a thing anymore. There are some rare edgecases with some older systems still running a variant like AIX or HP-UX but that is below 1%.
80% of what we call "cloud" is Linux and ~65% of all Websites run on Linux. The rest is Windows and maybe 0.5% some variant of BSD.
I think most servers are running something like this: https://omnios.org/ only the virtual machines might run alpine Linux
Most webservers run Ubuntu and it is the default OS for the overwhelming amount of cloud providers. Some run Debian though. Most enterprise applications run Red Hat or CentOS.
I never heard of OmniOS. Quick search says it is a distant descendant of OpenSolaris.
Given how rare that was already used back in its time and how practically nullexistent the community is for it (compared to Linux) I can say with high confidence the users are limited to a few enthusiasts and hobbyists.
Alpine is a special case and is indeed quite useful on VMs or IoT devices. I used it successful as base for a taped-together home automation server on a repurposed android phone.
