Linux is crushing it on the server side.

yep, as well as embedded devices, such as routers and iot devices,
although those mostly aren't what one would consider a linux box. it's
not like someone is going to install libre office on a thermostat even
though the thermostat runs linux

AIUI, these embedded versions of Linux are basically kernel plus custom
code. IOW, you'd have to add code to run anything other than thermostat
control.

yep (although it varies as to how much), which is why an embedded
device that uses linux is very different than a linux box on someone's
desk or in a server closet.
