    I use it in a VM because it’s better than Windows 10, some programs refuse to run on Linux, and I don’t need to provide the VM with an internet connection.

    My actual server is an old laptop and it does not run Windows.

    Even my friend who insists that Windows is superior still uses Linux for his gaming server because it’s easier to set up and manage.

      That’s actually fine. Though why not regular Windows 7, is there a special task for your VM?

        It was the best option at the time, and I didn’t feel like setting up Windows more than once as I gradually added new software and removed other software.

        That particular VM doesn’t get booted very often anymore.
