Agreed. It should be deployed entirely on Linux. Rip and rebuild is much easier on Linux. Using Windows as a server should be seen as a dark pattern in 2024.

For EMS, hospitals, Windows makes sense on the server because they don't know any better. For anyone remotely technologically competent, Windows shouldn't even be considered an option other than as workstations. Linux on the server is the only way and no one can convince me otherwise.

Now meet the sysadmin that thinks the same, but for windows for clients. At the risk of overgeneralizing, people are only for "diversity" when it means supporting their preferred underdog platform (eg. linux desktop). When they're the dominant incumbent it's suddenly "dark pattern", "they don't know any better" and "no one can convince me otherwise".
