I am specifically talking about Linux, did you misread?

My experience is managing over a hundred thousand vms at once across multiple countries, and have managed large fleets of tens of thousands or hundreds thousand+ for decades. This is old hat.

My desktop runs Linux. My laptop runs Linux. My phone runs Linux. The phone is the only one without a running SSH server. I'm pretty sure the openssh server is also a default package in Fedora Workstation, it's just got the service disabled by default unless you flick on a check box in the Gnome window.

Windows Server also supports SSH, and has several shell options.

I couldn't answer for any Apple device.

I guess my experience is narrow, though.

Hey, how many git servers do you know not running Linux? That's an interesting question!

Edit: Curious what you think both GitLab and GitHub run on, and if those have ssh enabled or not.



Yes, yes, but not every linux computer is running sshd.


Do know know why a lot of long-running infra that depends on git uses?

ssh.

Why?

Certificate expirations suck.
