This blog post uses a really weak report as the source for its information. The survey used for the report only got 433 responses. Based on the percentages given in the report, RHEL-related distro usage breaks down like this among the respondents.
- 113 CentOS
- 93 RHEL
- 62 Fedora
- 50 Amazon Linux
- 44 Rocky Linux
- 35 AlmaLinux
- 29 CentOS Stream
- 15 Navy Linux
That's a hilariously small sample size, so small that I would say it's irresponsible to draw any real conclusions from it. Never mind the fact that the survey potentially confused respondents by not clarifying CentOS as CentOS Linux.
Meanwhile, CentOS Stream dnf countme data shows that 2.1 million unique systems are hitting the public mirrors, and Meta engineers have publicly stated in conference presentations that they run a fleet of "millions" of CentOS Stream systems using private mirrors. So you'll excuse me for not worrying about only having 29 reported users on a tiny survey.
