GNU/Linux has total IPv6 capabilities but this is also fully
configurable.
Since I operate a standalone workstation that is only connected to the >>>> Internet via Comcast, my system and software configuration only
includes IPv4. (My local network certainly does not require it.)
IOW, I don't need IPv6 and therefore I exclude it.
Does anybody use or need IPv6?
I suppose that since the vast majority of GNU/Linux users depend on a
distro and that since most distros automatically enable IPv6 the
answer is that most users have IPv6 enabled whether they need it or
not.

I didn't notice the OP had set a follow up to COLA. Had I
noticed I wouldn't have replied....
COLA is Troll-Land.

Some of us folks are trying to be topical in cola. Still, it needs
a fairly robust killfile, because it gets a lot of political spam.
(For a while, I was posting build reports in there as new
kernels came out, but there doesn't seem to be much interest.)
One could argue that Linux advocacy isn't all that necessary
anymore, since it has already all but taken over the planet.
(Except for the desktop, of course -- that is still a Windows world.)
Ummmm ... Linux/BSD is a *niche* ... but has not
'taken over the planet' and likely never will
except in the 'systems' universe.
Yes, we know the -IX perspective IS better ... but
Granny and friends are NOT gonna get it. They will
stick with Winders/Apple forever and ever. They do
NOT understand that 'easier/prettier' = vulnerability
and exploitation and/or DON'T CARE.
Anyway, the SMART people will use -IX ... the REST
get to suffer horribly.
Right in the middle of installing FreeBSD on one
of my mini-PCs ... not 100% sure what I'm gonna
DO with it, but I'll find SOMETHING useful. The
DRIVERS issue HAS been an irritant ... it cannot
detect the wi-fi chip. However its destiny is
to be plugged direct into the router, so ....
As for IPV6 ... my ISP doesn't use it. NO use at
all - so I disable it to prevent problems.
IPV6 or something like it WILL be NECESSARY in
maybe five years or so alas. IPV4 seemed like
it'd last forever ... until IOT and a zillion
2nd/3rd-world sign-ups and .......
