    Just today and yesterday, one of my friends asked me to upgrade their windows server for their small business.

    Installing a fucking windows took me 6 hours. This whole shit would be done in 40min I if I could install and setup Debian on their server.

      I think I’ve installed a Fedora server in 5 minutes. It’s now literally 3 clicks if you’re doing it manually.

      It could be done in 15 minutes with Windows as well, if you actually knew what you were doing. Hell, I’ll give you 40 minutes if you know what you’re doing and don’t have proper tools already setup.

      Windows is a shitshow, but your personal lack of familiarity isn’t evidence of that, lol.

        I manage multiple windows servers with AD and all the shit.

        I have set them up tens of times.

        When you have a shit piece of software, it is unpredictable. So you encounter a new issue every time.
