> Plus, Linux is way lighter when compared to Windows. More specifically than just "lighter", the Linux distro metaphor and ecosystems have already adapted to decomposed use cases. You can run the same Debian or whatever image in a Docker container that you do on the bare server (or RPi/SBC) that you do in a Desktop VM or a Xen cloud host. Your ssh-based deployment and maintenance scripting works the same, etc... Windows gets sticky and weird the farther you get from a desktop deployment. It's a soup of special case tooling and "Here's How You Do This One Thing". So when those things change, Linux folks just tweak their install scripts a bit where Windows users need to wait for someone to Design a Product for the niche. This is what everyone was saying back at the dawn of cloud hosting, and it's exactly how it's played out. Windows can be made to work, but... why would you?
