Sorry but I won't talk with you on this issue because you clearly lack the expertise. Happy to engage with you on other issues. @d08 I know he codes himself and his points offer substance, yours don't.

It's old technology and frankly just garbage. It's sort of like complaining that your new BMW doesn't have a tape cassette player.
I've got family working as devops and he has worked with many large entities both private and public. Not one uses Windows servers.
Or are you mentally ill? Do you have a reading disability? This is the SERVER MARKET SHARE. I'll make it red this time so you will finally be able to read it:
W3Techs 14 July 2022 Linux: 80.1% Windows: 20.1%
Building interfaces to stream live data or write custom features in spreadsheets is a task that is sought after even today. Libre Office does not offer any of this except the most basic word processing or spreadsheet tasks. It's a perfect example how limited those apps on Linux really are. Thank you that you brought up this example.
Libre office is amazing to be free and instead to use a clunky VB you can exploit the support of python to write macro and script, this means also converting on the fly and using visualization tools that excel can only dream. To be completely free is just awesome. Said that excel is fantastic, reliable to crunch complex data.
Nobody should forget that the geniality of Nadella pushed him to create a linux emulator inside windows, this was admitting someway that Linux GNU is a fantastic FREE software

Yeah, again via hacks and third party tools. As said everything is stitched and hacked together. I am sure it eventually works but it requires a multiple the time it would take me to whip up an rtd server or custom functions that make use of classes in ms excel.
We need to agree to disagree on this topic. I use Linux for very limited tasks as mentioned. I tried to get other lower level features to work and they simply did not work, I think it was lack of driver and hardware support. One prime example was to spin down hard drives after a certain time. You can Google on stackexchange how many hundreds of posts there are that deal with this issue on various Linux distros. It was a nightmare and I gave up eventually. On windows I set the time the hard drive goes to sleep and it just works. Of course this pertains to pure data disks without any page files or other os required content on them. Then I ran into tons of issues to correctly configure Nvidia gpus to be recognized for ai specific work tasks. It was an absolute nightmare, check out the Nvidia support site and how many highly intelligent and educated ai researchers had issues with this. Then try to install an entire ai training capable ecosystem on Linux. It's an absolute nightmare as well. It takes literally hours to get it all up and running correctly. On windows I download and install a) the Cuda library, b) cudnn c++ header files, c) gpu graphics driver, d) VS, e) the ai toolbox and all works in less than 30 minutes without the slightest issue.

For specific cases, otherwise nobody would install windows and run Linux inside it. If it was so fantastic then windows would be obsolete by now. It's not. It's still the major desktop OS.
I don't remember the last time I had an issue with Linux, probably around ten years ago and I don't even remember what was about.
But I surely remember that I was forced to upgrade my PC back in the day because Windows decided to use way more hardware than it should. Planned obsolescence, they call it.
I bought an MSI laptop in 2015, I installed Ubuntu on it and never had a single issue. Still running strong.
Now give me a laptop from 2015 and I am going to install the new shiny windows OS, it will become a brick
Fair point, though most often it's the apps that become more resource thirsty as well. Not just the OS.
I solved the issue this way: i upgrade every 3 years on average, I invest in the absolutely top components and build my computer systems myself. Money to me is not an issue when it comes to acquiring top of the line tools that support my earning money and investing my wealth. Others have perhaps more budgetary constraints. To me I run what works and that I don't need to spend a lot of time to babysit and tinker with.
