I love how I can update Linux and expect it to get faster, not slower. Exception to be made for Nvidia drivers, but at least their performance is consistent.

It’s a lot more nuanced than that. Being in a data center doesn’t imply heavy network utilization. The caveat is clearly outlined in the article being workload based not deployment based. If you have a home machine doing network routing it would absolutely benefit from this. In fact I would say probably the vast majority of Linux installs are home network devices, just people don’t know it. Embedded Linux machines do…
> I would say probably the vast majority of Linux installs are home network devices I'm expect there are many, but the vast majority are likely massive datacenters with hundreds of thousands of machines each running multiple instances, and also Android phones are probably more common than home equipment. Edit: Also IoT, as someone else points out.
The vast majority of Linux kernels run on Android.
I would be shocked if I am incorrect.

I could see that being right. At the same time, how many servers running Linux are there, and how many instances per server?
