His workstations, and not to be snooty about it either, it's just like some people prefer crunchy peanut butter, and some people ruin their lives with creamy.

I liked init systems of yore. I don't ask to toss out systems because its very useful in some settings, however, I prefer the init systems we had, when it comes to my personal workstation preferences.

And if you recall correctly in the Debian community, adopting his systemd was a long and challenging 2-year long debate. Debian adopted systemd three years after Fedora did. Afterwards multiple senior contributors resigned from their positions due to extraordinary stress levels caused by ongoing disputes about systemd.

So when I tell you the Debian community mainly cares about servers, I'm not bullshitting you and I know who the fuck Lennart is.

As someone suffering from systemd, avahi and formerly pulseaudio, I wish Lennart Poettering would care less about workstations.

I'm sure it was, but the numbers compared to Linux and even FreeBSD would be tiny.

I'm still interviewing sysadmins from banks who have legacy systems to support and Solaris is probably 10:1 over HP-UX.

Can't speak about AIX, but it was massively more used than HP-UX. Solaris was still under pretty active development and adding new and cool features in 2012, while HP-UX seemed pretty much abandoned by HP. Itanium on HP-UX was HPs last big push on HP-UX, but after that failed to catch on they seemed to give up on the OS.
