Not judging, but why wouldn't you run Linux for a server?
Because I only have one PC (that I need for work), and I can't be arsed to cock around with dual boot just to watch movies. Especially when Windows will probably break that at some point.
Can you use Linux as main OS then? What do you need your computer to do?
I need to run windows software that makes other windows software, that will be run on our customers (who pay us quite well) PCs that also run windows.
Plus gaming. I'm not switching my primary box to Linux at any point. If I get a mini server, that will probably ruin Linux.
Mingw, but whatever. Maybe there is somethong mingw can't do.
Unless it is Apex and some other worst offenders or you use GPU from the only company actively hostile to linux, gaming is fine.
