    Only commenting because of the bad comment. I have supported windows desktops and servers for 17 years now since XP (dealt with systems prior to xp just not for my career), the only thing that has happened in that time is Windows has made it incredibly easy to do most things compared to then. I barely ever see blue screens anymore or an issue that can’t be fixed relatively easily and fast. The worst thing to happen in those years was Vista, now that I can agree was a pile of you know what…

    I see the comments here and find it crazy that people who use Linux find Windows harder. I love both because they both offer different things they excel at.

      I wonder if people used older versions of windows, didn’t like it, swapped to Linux and never looked at windows again since.

      Windows has become extremely easy to install and use, much more so imo than any Linux distro I’ve tried.

      Now for a server, Linux Debian is rock solid.

        Absolutely, I work in a mixed environment with windows servers and Linux ones and without a doubt I would 100% take the Linux one for longer uptime without having issues. It just works and continues working. With that said I do feel like even the stability of windows server 2016 onward has also improved. My only hate for windows servers is the ungodly amount of time they take to patch these days.
