Windows Server is less of a general use server, and more of just a staging platform for Microsoft’s other specific server based software installs. And even a lot of those don’t co-mingle on the same server well.
Exchange Server is effectively dead mid October too. Technically they have Exchange Server SE as an option, but it’s clearly not how they want people using Exchange anymore. They don’t even want hybrid setups.
Which is extra annoying because if you have Azure AD (I guess it’s Entra ID now) syncing from an on prem AD forest, half of the mailbox management shit in Exchange Online just doesn’t work and forces you to make the changes on-prem anyway.
I feel like it would be easier to learn Linux, even if you still used windows for desktop
That’s probably true if you consider Linux server vs Windows server. Windows server sucks.

I mean, even Microsoft doesn’t give a shit about Windows server since Azure runs on Linux. :)
