Just because there is a good implementation for servers doesn't mean there can't be good home use implementations.
Also: Windows is also a server OS, see Windows Server xxxx, It's also mostly the same as desktop Windows, just with additional software.

Call me when Currysoft Windows isn't the only operating system that distincts between "server" and "desktop" version for the purpose of jewing their customers on features.

>Also: Windows is also a server OS, see Windows Server xxxx
I know, and I know that several anons use WinServer as a daily driver.
What's the point?

All you need for a server is an OS (Linux is recommended and widely used), Apache, MySql (or something similar), and PHP. Don't use Windows... And the point is because some people have a certain files that they don't want to bring with them or maybe too many files so they upload them to their personal server and can retrieve them remotely. Or they wanna host a website, or even a server for a video game.

running servers

Windows and Linux sucks so much at the desktop. Just keep in mind it doesn't mean an OS can't be good at desktop and server. It's just none exists.

Dragonfly and Google Fuchsia do show promise, however.

I don't know. I use linux on my personal computer and I haven't installed any server features.

>Apache
nginx.
>MySql
postgresql.
>PHP
Anything else than PHP.

this
AMP stack is obsolete

i run my web servers on apache

i have been interested in taking a look in nginx too but havent had really time and apache has worked just fine and im familiar with it

what do i gain by using nginx, pls motivate me to look into it

>macOS Server is just a $19.99 add-on to macO
It's just a set of tools you purchase and install on a running macOS instance not a completely differently named release of the same OS but 10x the price

Bragging rights
Because everything from the home editions is in there as well

i run windows enterprise because it didnt nag me for a key when installing

It has all the same features as home or pro editions

its not about software, its about license. sure you can put install the "server" tools/apps/software on your macbook and run it as server, but its really about running it on server-machines. and since, you know, you cant buy macOS without hardware, they can jew out 10x the price for the "server" macOS, because youre not allowed to just install your macbooks macOS on any other machine.

Consumer editions have a lot of shit turned on by default so that dumb home users don't have to try and configure it (OOBE.) Most of it is useless to most users.

The biggest damage Microsoft did was making a server OS and a desktop OS and making people believe it is separate systems.

Most people learn to use the system they use.
They should know that all they need to go from writing a document to running a webserver is to run a new application.

>can't use your win xp key for windows server 2016
wtf

>what do i gain by using nginx, pls motivate me to look into it
You'd get an event worker model that isn't optional and absolute garbage like Apache's is. Much higher performance on the same hardware.

OSX is Mach (1st gen microkernel) hybrid kernel garbage. Suited for neither desktops nor servers.

Google Fuchsia is proper post-Liedtke microkernel.

What's even more sad is the state of desktop OSs.

There's only ever been two worth mentioning: AmigaOS (see: AROS) and BeOS (see: Haiku).

I don't even know what the fuck that means, I just run my shitty website on shitty servers and know how to setup basic apache server and it works. Performance isn't really a concern since nobody really visits my website anyway so it wont ever get loaded.

I'll fire up a VM and try out nginx though, maybe I'll get familiar enough with it to switch my actual web servers to it

Also, you'll realise The BSDs > Linux, as usual.

t. I am talking out my fucking arse and hope no server engineers pick up on it

cause communists are dumb

>the same OS but 10x the price
do you have any concept why its 10x the price?

Perhaps, its because a windows server license allows you to spin up x number of virtual servers under the same license key depending on the type purchased?

Has anyone in this fucking thread even been near a fucking server?

Please try stand up the server for all 20,000 users I look after at work using a fucking LAMP stack.

Kek relax. He was talking about a home server not a corporate network. You don't have to prove your nerdiness to me user, trust me I know it's harder than just *AMP. Get back to work.

I dont know if im getting too old for this board or if its gotten more stupid since i was young

>>what is exchange
top kek, he supports a corporate network full of windows-using riffraff.

Sucks to be him.

Elaborate?
