My homelab is a mishmash of Windows and Linux machines. The primary game server is Windows and the rest others are Linux.
That's so cool! Have you ever tried a BSD?
I've experimented with OpenBSD in the past, but it was back when I was solely a Windows kid before embracing and clicking with Linux. It just never really meshed with me.
Windows is what I already but I'm also curious to learn linux and bsd at some point.
