How many people actually use Ubuntu server? (alien.top)

Pretty much the title. I've seen plenty of people using proxmox and truenas but I don't really see many homelab users running Ubuntu server or something similar? Do many people actually use it to run docker or any containers on their machines? Just curious.

I use Proxmox with both Debian and Ubuntu servers hosted on it. My fundamental choice for the distro in this situation is whether I can find more community use of one distro over another for the service I am hosting. At this point, I am more familiar with Debian, but I use ubuntu server for some things at work, so it is valuable for me to use it at home to build skills.
