Questions about what Operating System to host on
I'm getting into moving all of my hosting stuff away from Pebblehost and into my own place, and amongst dealing with all of the security nonsense and having to do write-ups on how im managing things so future me can remember, I'm just wondering, what are people hosting their servers on?
I know everyone says linux, due to the fact that it doesn't have alot running in the background and saves alot of overhead for the actual server, but whats stopping me from using something like windows server or a particular distro of linux over another?
With all honesty, doing everything on linux isn't the worst but Windows is just, flat out my strongsuit, I know everything I've got to do on windows, and flat out just prefer there being a GUI for everything over having to struggle to remember a command when it REALLY matters)
