  • I self hosted windows for many years, mostly because that is what I used at work. I liked it because it hid some of the low level details and worked most of the time.

    The thing that finally made me switch was the exorbitant cost of licenses and the need to run services on older hardware.

    DM me if you want some keys. I have a few copies of win10 and winIOT laying around that I’m not going to use.

    100%.

    but $ for cpu+ram of old MacBooks makes it feasible. They are dirt cheap on ebay, and I don’t need the screen.

    My bedrock server runs on a 2012mbpro. I take daily backups and have another mbp laying around when this one fails completely. The expanding battery warped the shell pretty bad, but it’s still functional.
