    That’s very weird as with docker on windows you technically run your containers in a linux vm, and besides that, in my experience windows is not nearly stable enough to be useful for running services.
    All while I have been deploying selfhosted services for myself without problems on Linux for years. My only problem has been the constantly overloaded system, but that’s no surprise when you run heavy services on the 10+ year old portable hard drive system disk. Windows would only perform worse in that environment.

      Yeah… this feels like a very bad example. I am honestly curious as to specifics here, because Ubuntu setup is pretty dead simple with the graphical installer. And like you said docker is native linux.

      Saying running anything out of the box is “impossible by design” on Ubuntu is objectively wrong frankly. Maybe you could argue they haven’t succeeded in their goal of being super out of the box friendly, not sure I’d agree but at least you’d have leg to stand on.
