Windows Server 2016 has no option for installing with a gui

>How do you like that /g/?

I guess it's fine, however linux shells are stil superior.

But...but...it has ubuntu bash or something like that.

I don't see unixoid sysadmins jumping ship just because of that

gahnoo+loonix with a full featured XFCE desktop alongside with various services (samba, cups, mpd etc) take less m'lord.

They also offer less, so that's not comparable.

There wasn't a minimal option before, I think it's a good start.

>>57469230
It does not offer less. Linux offer more right out of the box which is why Linux is by far the most popular for server use.

>>57468874
A command prompt only environment still needs to load the after login interface? That is the cmd appears as a window or like a recovery console?

You're either stoned off your tits or being willfully stupid. Which is it?

Nice chicks.

D-d-dropped.

Well, Windows Servers are good in enterprise environments with other windows computers. I would recommend using WIndows Servers as either: domain controllers, TFTP or SMTP with RDP.

Not really. Graphics is loaded by Win32k.sys, which isn't the part of ntkrnl, but it still loads because they chose not to rewrite that part. I'm sure it's possible to not load GUI at all if they rewrite smss.exe.

Don't make me giggle. Linux is shit when you have windows systems to manage.

It's good for databases, webservers, management controller software, that's what I use it for, but everything else like application servers for 90% of enterprise used software it is not capable.

>>57470432
You do realize that people expect exactly that kernel for a shitton of software, they wouldn't recode everything to work on a command line only system.

Besides that it is completely irrelevant how the server looks, if it's in window or not, because the only thing you ever do there is configure the ip, join the domain and then everything is done remotely with windows 10 onboard tools.

You mean ASP.NET garbage?
