But you have a Daddy and Mommy who love you!

And, a Windows Home Server! Does that make you happy?

They had me until windows

Imagine growing up with a Windows home server… ugh

I’m usually a Windows “shill” or at least a casual defender of it, as I work in a Windows environment and it’s not as bad as people pretend it is. No shade against Linux, I love it and Windows is bad. Just not like “I’d rather self-castrate” bad.

Anyway…

But for a home server? Either be super lazy and set up samba shares from your Windows desktop for the drives (avoid having a server at all) or bite the bullet and use Linux. You’ll get so much more out of a Linux server that it’s not even funny.

I work with Windows and it’s AWFUL. Did you know the taskbar is a fucking ELECTRON APP? Everything is so slow. And you have to go through hoops to do what you want, and that setting isn’t available in the settings electron app, you have to go through these 5 screens to find the magic button that opens the win 95 style dialog box to set what you want. It’s so So SO BAD.

I’m using it 95% of my time with it by remoting with a program to the server and experience reduced window quality and speed anyway.
I want it finishing the task and not look pretty.

And ew. 95 theme. How old are you? At least use Aero/flat and then log off to reduce the 1% load from the active user session
