Oh, Im sorry. If I’m honest I completely forgot.

No worries, and thanks a lot!

If you guys can recommend a fair and open pastebin alternative for me I will upload it there as well and edit this with the link

I like OpenGist, the folks over at programming.dev run an instance: https://blocks.programming.dev/

It's time for ReactOS then. Maybe FreeDOS? Or the most divine OS of all, TempleOS.

Something tells me that this is soon gonna disappear like a Boeing whistleblower. To everybody reading this: Make sure to archive that guide, preferably locally on your device!

I'm sorry, I have misunderstood your post then. I didn't realize you want to run Windows on the server, I thought you were just saying that you have no prior experience with Linux because you use Windows on the desktop.

As someone with some experience in both Linux and Windows system administration I can tell you, Windows on the server sucks.
I'd even go as far to say that Linux on servers is more noob-friendly because there are more guides, tutorials, other resources, etc. available, and people on StackExchange, in forums, chat rooms or in Lemmy communities are really helpful. The hobbyist Windows server community is much smaller and has essentially no presence here on Lemmy.

Most open source software, especially piracy-related software is just assumed to be run on Linux, so there are almost never sufficient instructions for how to do something on Windows. The CLI (which you sometimes have to use for these kinds of things) is vastly different on Windows and Unix-like operating systems like Linux, macOS or BSD.

I actually used this a few years ago (never noticed the ads or popups because I always use an adequate ad-blocker with lists that also filter out stupid banners and other annoyances), but I immediately stopped using it after I learned about the parent company. It's not like they made much profit from me anyways, but still, they see which articles you're visiting, and I wouldn't trust them with this information.

The main reason I used it was the design anyway, ever since Wikipedia slightly updated their standard theme to make it look more modern. I hope they start using the Citizen skin for MediaWiki, which would finally make it look like an actual modern website. Other wikis like The Apple Wiki also use it, and it's beautiful in my opinion.

I now use Wikiless for privacy reasons, this page has some reasons why it's a good idea to use it: https://github.com/Metastem/Wikiless/wiki/FAQ
LibRedirect automatically redirects all Wikipedia links in my browser to Wikiless
