Whatβs the goal?
Linux is the most prevalent server (and arguably general) OS on the planet, hands down. If you want to learn more about it, use it for a project, get a job, etc, you canβt do any better.
Ubuntu generally Just Works and has an easy gui installer for both desktop and server. Ubuntu and Ubuntu server are just a few different packages away from each other, plus a few minor differences. If you administer all your machines via ssh, no need for the desktop.
If you want to learn about containerization, virtualization, SR-IOV, HPC, NUMA, etc, Linux is a wonderful platform to push the limits of your hardware (or have as a rock solid server).
Windows is fine, but I think there are far better server choices in the world β specifically Linux or BSD.
