I mean it seems every new project on HN works on Linux, but not on Windows Server. Even though, most of these apps are written in Go, python, java etc .. without any specific linux components. I have a deep experience with both from an Adminstration point.
- meiraleal 2y agoEvery project is in Linux, the most used OS in server which is absolutely free but you think Windows is better. Please, explain to us why do you think that.
- sirjaz 2y agoOddly, based on Statista Windows Server has 72% of the on-prem market and 50% of the overall cloud market. I digress, I am looking for the technical aspects of why to linux is favored, if all other things were equal.
- solardev 2y agoBy what metric? Dollars spent? Visitors? CPU minutes? Something else?
- sirjaz 2y agoServer footprint from different manufacturers. Since most call home now a days
- solardev 2y agoI don't think I would trust those numbers. They seem wildly off, TBH. I'm not sure what you mean by "server footprint", but I doubt most Linux installs are phoning home in a way that a third party like Statista can easily measure. Unless they provide some detailed methodology, I'd be very skeptical of those numbers.
