    What I don’t understand is: who is using oracle linux? Never heard of a single person or company using it?

    One must be really far from linux to choose oracle linux among hundreds of available distros

      Mostly their Oracle Database customers (which aren’t few), I suppose. There are many which will fire up a Oracle Linux vm on their servers to install Oracle database, mostly because its “easier” and Oracle gives some support for those.

      A lot of company behind the scence do, with Oracle DB… even there are RHEL, they opt to use OL because it’s free, and they only need to pay the DB License…
