That's all fine and dandy for the desktop case.

But its a dhcp server, network admins would be expected to touch config files, and the interface for a DHCP server really can't be much worse than the GUI version that microsoft supplies!

but digressions, to say "this is why I won't use a linux desktop" in response to a server-specific use-case, is at best antagonistic!

Pfsense does a great job offering a GUI for how configuring DHCP should work.

The used netgear router a friend gave me, does a fine job of getting my devices ip addresses on time without me touching the config.

In fairness, it is a sensible default for a dedicated hardware router, and not so much for a software DHCP server.

It's still a fair point, even if a little "off topic' wrt parent and still perfectly on topic wrt this submission.
