I think this is oversimplifying things a bit. There are many workloads running on Linux that also pay licensing for RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu Pro.

It really comes down to the requirements for your app as defined by the vendor and/or the internal team.

Licencing exists for enterprise support if you want or need it, but it is absolutely not required for linux unlike windows.

IMO this is more of a distribution problem than an OS problem.

If MS did a better job at supporting headless Windows distros to compete with Debian (and similar linux) distros, it would be more popular.

For 9/ 10 tasks, it's way easier to spin up Debian , install a web / db / app server and have a running solution.

With windows you're still running through dozens of MSI packages, setup screens. It's too inconsistent.

There are workarounds to this, but they are not as mature & familiar as the corresponding linux setup.

It's the UX not the platform.

Django isn't batteries included despite everyone saying it is.

Batteries included would mean inclusion of the most basic requirement of almost every web application - some sort of user signup/signin/forgot password auth and cookie/token flow. Django does not include anything for this and leaves it to the user to work out - and this tends to be one of the most complex parts of a new system.

Why some many self-hosted mediabrowsers written on C#/Mono? (honest question)
imran-iq · a year ago
I think (and I could be misremembering here) is that Emby started off as C# and both Plex and Jellyfin are forks of it. Also a lot of folks in this sphere seem to be on windows as their primary platform, and C# along with visual studio is pretty on that stack

I feel silly saying it, but they’re not designed to run without a controller. He has been fighting this for two blog posts now.

Does it mention that the AP's will spam network requests with or without a controller on that page?
