Windows 10 vs Windows Server : What are the differences?

# Introduction

1. **Licensing**: Windows 10 is licensed for individual use, while Windows Server is designed for server use and requires a separate license for each device or user.
2. **User Interface**: Windows 10 has a user-friendly interface primarily designed for personal use, while Windows Server has a more complex interface tailored for server administration.
3. **Updates**: Windows 10 receives regular consumer-focused updates, while Windows Server follows a different update cycle focusing on stability and security for server environments.
4. **Networking**: Windows 10 prioritizes home networking features, while Windows Server offers advanced networking functionalities such as domain controllers, DNS services, and DHCP servers.
5. **Resource Management**: Windows 10 is optimized for desktop use with emphasis on user experience, whereas Windows Server prioritizes resource management, scalability, and performance for server operations.
6. **Security**: Windows 10 emphasizes user privacy and device security, while Windows Server focuses on network security, access control, and data protection in server environments.

In Summary, the key differences between Windows 10 and Windows Server lie in licensing, user interface, updates, networking, resource management, and security aspects.

Ubuntu is much more faster over Windows and helps to get software and other utilities easier and within a short span of time compared to Windows.

Ubuntu helps to get robustness and resiliency over Windows. Ubuntu runs faster than Windows on every computer that I have ever tested. LibreOffice (Ubuntu's default office suite) runs much faster than Microsoft Office on every computer that I have ever tested.

I liked manjaro a lot, the huge support it has and the variety of tools it provides is just awesome. But due to its parent platform being Arch Linux it has bleeding-edge technology and that meaning, we get updated 'daily', and if we keep updating the system daily, due to the bugs in the recent updates the system sometimes used to crash, this made the OS really unstable. However, one can avoid such crashes using periodical and careful system/package updates. I now use LinuxMint which is based on Ubuntu, and this OS is completely stable with reliable(mostly tested) updates. And, since this OS is backed up by UBUNTU the concerns/questions one can encounter while using the OS can be easily rectified using the UBUNTU community, which is pretty good. Though this is backed up on UBUNTU it most certainly does NOT include the proprietary stuff of UBUNTU, which is on the bright side of the OS. That's it! Happy Computing.
