Plus you get better software, for example open rgb which always works but only opens when I tell it to instead of a bunch of annoying as app made by the vendors that auto start with windows

Has your Windows bootloader ever wiped out Grub?

Just use systemd boot I've had less problems overall.

I use macOS intel and have never had MacOS wipe any windows or Linux partition because bootcamp protects the partitions

Why you using windows in the big 25?

Unix/Unix-like operating systems are designed with developers in mind. The operating system gets out of your way. Also, it helps to have an environment more similar to your production deployment. Windows is an extremely unpopular choice for a server OS. There are also many bad things about development on windows, but my most specific complaints aren't super beginner friendly. I would summarize that windows has terrible process management syscalls and win32 is just in general terrible.

At my job we are a windows shop but we have actually put enough pressure on our software vendors (I build tools around specialized engineering simulation software) that we are going to be moving over to red hat like most other internal servers within the next 3 years.

All versions of Windows are an inconsistent hodgepodge of incremental features that hides all their weird quirks and faults under copious amounts of user interfaces and closed source code all for the main goal of maintaining a market dominance they happened to just stumble upon several decades ago. There is a lack of overarching vision and philosophy over how it should function

Man, all I know is that I can download vs and install libraries to start learning some things like game programming. I’m so lost by all the other stuff u said. Is there a yt video or something that can help me get into all this?

Think of windows as a house full of furniture that you can’t move, and Linux as a barebones house with no furniture. Some people would rather not deal with the furniture built into the house and design it themselves. If you don’t know the difference or benefits of Linux to windows, Then windows is perfectly fine for you. Learn to code a bit on windows and I’m sure you’ll naturally learn the difference.

They chose to run windows for internal servers?

Anonymous #10 12w

We have a large distributed system to run simulations and the software is windows only. It wasn't a choice but a necessity. Most of our internal software runs on openshift (red hat flavored kubernetes)

Tf is the point of that, you don’t need arm power efficiency on desktop and then you sacrifice all the expandability of a desktop
