My actual server is an old laptop and it does not run Windows. Even my friend who insists that Windows is superior still uses Linux for his gaming server because it's easier to set up and manage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago Your friend is wise. He uses the a specific tool for a specific task. permalink fedilink source parent [–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) That's actually fine.
