Why aren't you using Windows Server 2016 Server Core yet?

>he uses a gui

Reeeeeee.

>>57727145
Can you download it directly from Microsoft?

>>57727145
what's the real difference between that and win10 LTSB?

>>57727145
Because GNU/Linux is much better, and I have windows 7 in my GPU passthrough VM.

>>57727145
because i am, and its not really that much smaller. to make it smaller you really need to remove the installer files for pretty much every feature with dism

>>57727236
Yes

>>57727243
All of the server features you tard

>>57727145
the real question is why are you using 2016 server core when nano is an option?

>>57727487
Because most software wont run on it you autist. For fucks sakes shit like Exchange and NPAS wont even run on Core let alone Nano. Other things like Veeam B&R wont let you install them on a non-DE edition but can be coerced to install on Core.

>>57727483
>All of the server features you tard
yeah but I mean if you just want a secure winblows for your desktop. is there any reason to choose it instead of LTSB?

>>57727550
No, and if it is like anything like 2012 R2 you might not want to as it wouldnt include things like a Bluetooth stack. Also I had problems playing vidya on 2012 R2, there were some librarys that it wouldn't have. I used it at the time because Win 10 wasnt out yet and Win 8.1 didnt support ReFS.

>>57727243
Presumably the same differences as between 8.1 and Server 2012 R2. The Server version is intended for server usage and comes with some different management tools and whatnot.

Because I am on 8.1 and when the day of hardware upgrade comes I switch to Debian + GPU Passthrough VM like the true /g/ patriot

>>57727145
I prefer debian, windows server is too restricrive.

Also why do you need steam on a server?

I need one to run a ms sql database until i figure out how to export the database to mysql

>>57727483
I can only find the evaluation version.
Can I activate this version if I purchase a license?

>>57728607
Yes. I installed the eval and activated with a key from dreamspark.

>>57728607
>Can I activate this version if I purchase a license?
You can for the desktop experience edition, not for the core edition. Go to the MSDN downloads page, find the name of the ISO image you want, google it, there will be some server somewhere hosting it. Download it and verify the checksum.

>>57728583
Host games?

>not compiling your own kernel without any propietary blobs or drivers for a true GNU/Linux experience

Because Windows 10 fucking sucks, even the Server version (which does have telemetry like it or not).

>Steam works fine

That's nice. Now try playing the actual games.

Server (full desktop experience)? Probably not much.
Server (Server Core)? When you log in, you just get a cmd. No explorer for instance.
>>57727483
What server features do you mean? Not having a crippled network stack?
>>57727487

No, Server Core isn't for PoS.

Works fine too.

>>57727145
It's still Windows 10, which means it's shit. Same schizophrenic OS.

>>57733454

You mean TempleOS?

Windows 10 is objectively the best OS to date, for better that want to get things done without the BS.

I'm using XenServer, sorry anon but my experience lies in administration for GNU systems. If it's any consolation I'll probably use an evaluation copy of windows server 2016 to work on my MSCE whenever I go for it.

>>57727448

Enjoy your 10~15% performance lost.

>>57727145
that nice an all but does it support dx12 and vulkan?

>>57734629
~10-15% performance loss is nothing on my SLI'd 1080s.
