For a desktop experience? Sure! For a server that needs to be supported for many years? Well...

Is this a different timeline where suddenly everything is the other way round?

That's a curious take. Today's Linux distributions are more reliable than ever with more long-term support than ever.

What changed is that you usually do not run a snowflake anymore which you carefully update to the next version in situ, but some amount of compute and storage. Today everything is blue-green and updates mean deploy, destroy behind a load balancer.

Well what? Don't most servers run Linux? And support is good assuming you pick a distro that fits

They do. And yes, choosing a good distribution will help. But the fact that most servers run Linux isn't indicating it's the best choice. Most desktops run Windows - and this doesn't mean it's the best desktop OS :-)

Don't Amazon run their servers on Linux?

For desktop? If you not using gnome then yes.
