Windows vs Linux update experience
Daniel Nashed – 16 June 2025 01:35:03
The internet is running on Linux for good reasons.
Updating Linux on all distributions I know is a very straightforward operation with a single reboot if needed at all.
In contrast on Windows the download and installation is really painful.
I am running Windows mainly for test and development.
All my Domino servers are running on Linux.
Mainly as a Docker container, but also Domino native on Linux is easy to setup and maintain.
Windows 2025 seems to use more system resources than the previous versions.
Now that Domino 14.5 ships, maybe a good idea for your upgrade plan could be to think about moving to Linux...
