Jonathan - PrivateSo, I originally wrote that into a german community, but now thought it would props also be worht sharing it here, so here's my post, translated with google translate since gpt is dead for me.
Switching from Windows to Linux vps as a Linux beginner:
Hello, I'm a seasoned Windows user and have never had much to do with Linux. Actually, I don't plan on changing that much, but I would like to move my vps to Linux. Now that you can easily host game servers on Linux thanks to nvgt, and the license for Windows costs me far too much money that I could rather invest in Speks.
I'm also increasingly running into the problem that things I want to host simply aren't available for Windows.
Now I'm also wondering, as someone who has no idea about the whole thing:
How do I familiarize myself? I was thinking about a Vm, but:
- Which system?
There are literally thousands. I really only want to be able to do this for my server, and I would also really like something server-based.
How do I control my server?
Keeping in mind the fact that I have only used Windows or a Windows vps so far, I honestly have little idea about other control options than NVDA remote. It's just so practical, F11 and you're where you want to be. How does this work on a Linux server?
I've heard of SSH and the like, but I don't know anything more than the term.
Finally, I'll ask for your honest opinion, does it make sense and how difficult is it to switch over?
Thanks for your help, and have a nice day.
