But you know the UI is optional in the recent server versions?
Can all be done in console, for an added layer of security and less overhead. Way too late they included that, but still…
lol yes, but close. Since server 2008/2008R2 there is the “core”-option. Since 2016 even a nano-core, with just basic container-options and one cannot even login locally.
Plus a ton of corpo-stuff that is already there, and “easily” to setup (the gui seems so simple, but it’s still just a do-it-quick-stuff in the front, most of the actual work is scripted/console anyway). I must admit I do have all MS-titles and -certificates and it often is as trivial as it seems. But still more trivial than doing the exact same thing in linux.
Despite not ever have cared for MS-licenses (except for back then, when i still ran the buisiness), i still choose linux most of the time as it’s still much less overhead for simple tasks than even the lightest of core-installations.

I did not know that.
Took them two decades but better late than never!
