That's silly. There are far more linux desktops than there are servers, and this is growing, not dwindling. Just because you don't like it as a desktop, doesn't mean reality isn't real.
No offense intended, but "citation needed". My intuition is that server side Linux is a lot less visible, but outweighs desktop use by a good margin. Eg. I run desktop Linux on 2-3 computers at home, and 200+ servers at work.
