Soon free Coca-Cola for Iran.


Windows server is the best Windows os (can be use as a client os) but it's still Windows shit.


Nothing wrong with Windows Server Core, which has zero UI. Managed totally with Powershell, which once you get used to it, is an excellent shell/scripting language.


Powershell is really good. For scripting you get the whole C# standard library and can write cmdlets in C# itself.


lol, what's your point really? alternatives exists since very long time.


People who care about Windows, lol.


Put words where they don't exist.


"I think people would love more posts about FreeBSD" Translate to: "I would love more post..."


It's like having the dream of running Visual Studio 2026 on linux: COMPLETELY RETARDED.


You better change software.


"Yes. I can't tell you how many times the ability to just download a goddamn .exe file and run it in WINE has saved my ass. Seemingly every creative project I undertake eventually requires downloading some piece of software which is either impossible or impractical to rebuild myself, and whose Linux and macOS ports no longer work or never existed. There's more than three decades of Win32 software — .exe files! — that can run in WINE or (of course) on Windows. No other ABI has that kind of compatibility record. WINE can even run Win16 stuff too.

The really cool thing about Win32 is it's also the world's stable ABI. There's lots of fields of software where the GNU/Linux and POSIX-y offerings available are quite limited and generally poor in quality, e.g. creative software and games. Win32 gives you access to a much larger slice of humanity's cultural inheritance. "

What a pile of bullshitting.
