The big benefit of linux servers for most businesses is that they tend to be configure-once systems, where you set it up, verify it works then no further maintenance is needed beyond applying updates in line with your update schedule and downtime windows. Sure there will every once in a while be something that changes but far less than you see with Windows Server where some registry values stopped working with a recent windows update without warning so now you have to track down new registry values to recreate the behavior. That and tracking down why Windows decided to ignore all of your settings and reboot this time (and how to stop it again)

Yeah, “linuxism”, that must be it… That or it’s possible that the OS and distributions have evolved while you were not looking.

As in: between today and six months ago, when I moved my personal PC to Linux and encountered various weird shit that just doesn't happen on Windows?

secure (please don’t try to tell me Windows is more secure, please please please)

Wait, are you one of those weird people who believe that there are no viruses on Linux and no security tools are needed?

Windows servers are under constant attack... Just like Linux devices are at all times.

I am also quite curious about getting a source for that claim that Windows Server is coming back.

I didn't say "it's coming back". WS is still losing market share, but the losses slowed down pretty significantly in recent years. Sorry, I can't find the source again because Google is shite. Feel free to disregard this point.

Finally, do tell me where I mentioned MacOS. Unless you think that MacOS and Linux are the same? That wouldn’t surprise me considering your apparent knowledge (or lack of) about Linux. FYI MacOS is based on a BSD kernel.

Fuck off with this tone, mate.

I mentioned MacOS as an example that Windows is not as buggy as you seem to believe. I guess that went over your head and I should denigrate you now?
