I'm a Windows guy since forever and I recently got into selfhosting. So far its a blast! Are posts about that welcome here?

My homelab is a mishmash of Windows and Linux machines. The primary game server is Windows and the rest others are Linux.

    I was at this point for a while, believing gaming on Linux wasn't up to par, until I discovered that Linux has a decent translation layer (Proton/Wine) that means even though the vast majority of Steam games are Windows only, Steam or other launchers like Heroic just run them in a container, and from my experience none of my games have had issues. This has only improved massively over the years.

    Oh don't misunderstand. I run Linux on my personal machines. Arch on desktop and Cachy on laptop. My game server is only Windows because the Linux Palworld server software would just not recognize the server files from the Windows machine and I eventually just gave up trying to transfer. We are endgame and unless everyone decides to start a new server with 1.0, it'll remain that way for the foreseeable future.

    That's so cool! Have you ever tried a BSD?
