Does $1000 Windows Perform Better??

Are you getting the most performance from your OS if you opt for the basic version of Windows 10?

Linus everymorning: how can i waste my money

[ChrisD]

so the server version functions better as a server?... never would have guessed

[asiantownxD]

Please, everyone knows that the real performance boost comes from using red LEDs instead of blue ones.

I'm trying to use this Mac but Windows keeps kicking my ass.

[VaJohn]

No it doesn't before i even watch the video.

Windows Server $1000
A Better Linux Server $0

[isakovski]

Now i can have video as a background.
Totally worth 1.ooo$
No regrets at all.

Why pay for Windows Server if Linux is free? :)

[itsdeonlol]

But, what if you you got Windows on Pirate Bay for free?

[GamingTurkey]

the eye can only see windows 7 we don't need windows 10.

7:28 solution is to install Wireless LAN Service through Server Manager

I'm running Windows Server 2016 because it's free on Microsoft Imagine. Best part of WS2016? No Cortana, no Windows Store, no random automatic updates and all the privacy settings are disabled by default.

It's weird, but it seems in the software world, the less you pay for something, in general the better it works.

Hello! You forgot to tune base settings before benchmarks.
Like app priority which is by default forgeround for 10 and background for server.

"we had a slogan, but Linus dropped it".... omg please keep that forever :D

7:54 If you want the answer right away.

Linus hey I wanted to address the lowered benchmarks in Windows server settings. In Windows server the application priority is set to background services. Therefore your benchmark doesn't get priority when doing anything that's foreground. The server set up so that it can manage the network and clients in the background, especially for AD DC, DNS and DHCP calls. So you might try re-running the benchmark in a different video with the applications process priority set to foreground applications instead of background and system services.

when a copy of windows is worth more than your pc

[f-starfighter]

Maybe performing actual server tasks on a server operating system will be a performance revelation.
