It really isn’t all that popular these days. It is running on the fumes of history like Windows is. The difference is there is little reason to stay with Ubuntu since it is just Linux.

It’s popular amongst regular linux users, I mean if I was to take your opinion seriously then someone clearly made a mistake here:

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#1-operating-system

Someone put Ubuntu in 3rd (after Mac and Windows) and Fedora in 12th under ipadOS and “Other linux based” 🧐

In terms of popularity amongst neckbeards who argue over linux distros then yeah, Ubuntu isn’t that popular you’re right

The stack overflow survey only captures a small portion of the population. It is going to be mostly corporate software development companies.

Ubuntu is still fairly common in the enterprise when it is required by corporate overlords but it is way less popular when users are given a choice. Ubuntu doesn’t have much to offer these days and it is riding on inertia.
