Any version going to be available for Windows Server some day?

[4C3T]

I'm just curious if there'll ever be a version for Windows servers available some day? Although the server versions are quite fast and limited with bloat, there are still a few things that could use these 'upgrades'. Any chance that has its place on the road map for AtlasOS perhaps?

The only use case for this would be GPU crypto mining (aka no use whatsoever) IMO, you should use Linux on your servers like a sane human being (unless you're trying to host an AD server).

If I wanted to use Linux, I would've done so, but I don't, so I won't. It's an over-complicated OS to begin with, and the question pertains to Windows Server so please don't give me any such advice please.
There are reasons why some choose to use it, and I was thinking of using it for NIC teaming since it's already built-in. Also, when it's installed (fresh) the number of running processes are way lower than Win 10. Preferably I'd love to have an OS that was like Win XP but that's impossible since it's heavily outdated, and Windows 7, although it's very light on resources, it still blows for being a successor to Vista but it has a better GUI (faster and no bloat when using Classic theme), but unfortunately it's got limited support for newer apps and whatever is left is dwindling fast. Windows 10's GUI blows for sure, but it does have a few features that are good, and thanks to 3rd party apps it's usable (OpenShell Menu, 7+ Taskbar and misc. tweaks).

I don't mind modding stuff, for i.e. that NIC Teaming which requires copying files from Windows server to Windows 10 and applying register tweaks, but I thought that perhaps I could just install Windows Server and it'd just be done, then apply this AtlasOS on that and have a snappier PC in spite of running Windows Server, minus a bunch of components, perhaps...

Linux as a server OS is not very complicated (you're just not willing to learn), but yes, some things do still require Windows Server unfortunately. I don't really know of what else could be removed, it's already missing a lot of things.

I'm also not suggesting you use windows server on a desktop PC, LTSC is better for that if you want something missing a lot of stuff.

That's not it & why. There's 95% RTFM to get stuff working, it's buggy, needs constant maintenance (security updates if running a server) and you need to keep an eye on the logs like none other (Intrusion attempts for various daemons you might be running), and you need to configure a firewall or use a router with port mapping or whatever flavor you want to solve that.
There are a lot of stuff that makes using Linux a prime candidate. Sure you'll have performance, quicker response times and whatnot.
Did I mention RTFM? You need to get to that point where stuff performs, and either you've got a good memory and remembers all settings and tweaks that needs to be implemented and such, otherwise you've got to sift through forums in the hunt for the solution to your problems.

Then you've got issues with apps. Many are free for Linux, but again with the RTFM for most of these, which could be glitchy since you've got to match dependencies and configurations left & right (which, naturally, goes for what I wrote earlier too), some may be licensed and, yes, still needs RTFM, trials & errors in order to work, as most other.

Edit: I forgot to mention that some people have licenses for various apps which doesn't exist for Linux in some cases.

In Windows however, there's a whole other ball game. It's usually easier to get and find help, not to mention reading logs (Event viewer, which gives you error codes you can google, duckduckgo or whatever is your favorite) to find out what's wrong, if any. There are also much better views over hardware (Device manager which is endlessly better than anything in Linux, at least when it comes to giving an overview!).

We could debate differences all day, but that's not productive nor is it pertinent to the original question, so please stay on topic. Thanks.

Likely not. Atlas is a "gaming focused" optimization.
You can, however, modify our scripts to fit your needs (in this case, a Windows Server compatiable version). But please note that there will be no official support for it.

Hope it helps!
