You have 10 seconds to explain why you aren't using Windows Server 2012 R2 as your desktop

I do

Except for AD service you pretty much described Win10 LTSB

Also
> server tier performance

Stop bring retarded. “Server tier performance” focus on I/O operations.

Windows 10 has the new security features.

> >windows server tier performance
FTFY.
> DNS or DHCP server for fun
desu DHCP server in Windows is the most weird, disgusting and unneeded part. Did you know you need a CAL license for every DHCP client?

Still fucks HDD as hell, why? Arch rarely does so, gentoo doesn't use HDD until I play FLAC or video.

>no bloatware
lies

>Did you know you need a CAL license for every DHCP client?
hahaha what

holy fucking shit

>DHCP
deprecated. Use static routing instead.

>deprecated
ebin

> DHCP
> static routing
Static leases, you mean. DHCP can handle this too.

Bloatware.

In what fucking world does it boot faster

>server as your desktop
no thanks, i just use pro which is good enough if not better for playing video gaymes.
if i were to want to have a hassle hosting a server, then i'd use it.

Windows 7 is GOAT son

Just a thought... everybody is quick to call Cortana a botnet, but isn't it kind of necessary to "train" a voice assistant by throwing ridiculous amounts of samples at it so that it can learn? Obviously, I'm not getting into whether people actually want such an assistant or not (I don't, I find it silly to talk to my devices), but isn't that kind of the price to pay for having a voice assistant that actually understands you most of the time?

I have an old computer running Windows 7 now
If I transfer an SSD with Windows 10 already installed there (nothing deleted yet) and place it inside the old computer (after removing the hard disk inside it of course), what'll happen once I start that computer?

What else is the purpose of a desktop? Otherwise get a laptop, server, tablet or phone.

I don't give a flying FUCK about that.

Because I use Ubuntu, RHEL, and Alpine on my servers.

Forgot the follow-up,
>and my desktop is only used as an extension of my servers

if your IIS website has any kind of user authentication you need CALs for every single user

microsoft licensing not even once

>a VM
Host is probably Winshit 10, filthy normie scum.

Because the year is 2018

I use 2016 version.

bles respong :---DDDD

Because I'm using Windows Server 1803 Core with desktop components from 10 1803 grafted onto it. Hurrah SuperBubble.

Because Windows is malware.

what do i actually give up if i go full server mode?

>>server tier performance
Servers are slower than comparable desktop computers

>>no bloatware
If you are using a server OS as a desktop then it is bloated as fuck

>>no botnet (no cortana)
Servers are more targetted by malware than desktops

>>desktop is default interface
What?

>>gaming ability exactly the same as other Windows distros
yeah have you ever run any packet sniffers on a server? hahahahaha the number of ARP and syn ack packets leaving and going to a server are fucking huge.

>>boots way faster than any other windows
RUBBISH

>>stability that makes Linux users question their faith
until you start messing with the bloat

>>can add IIS and have a decent web server with a couple of mouse clicks
Well that's what a server is for yes, but you have now the problem of switching that off everytime you game because it becomes an attack surface

>>can add Active Directory or convert to a DNS or DHCP server for fun
yup, that's what it's for

i bet that's a dang fine server OS
stripped down, top fuel
