Linux vs. Windows:
Linux is light-weight, can do majority of what windows can accomplish but with Linux in respect. Linux is also free open-source, any and everybody can look at the source of Linux Kernel and all Linux GNU projects. The downside with Linux is that it fell off for gaming (I will go more into that in windows section) however where Linux fails for gaming OS, it shines in the eyes of developers and server applications. Granted a lot of server jobs include Windows the need for Linux CLI ninjas is still great.
Windows is user-friendly, helpful, integrated, and above all shines with it's gaming department and DirectX. Windows has proven time and time again that it IS the personal computer's operating system. Any and all users can sit down at most Windows OS machines and be able to accomplish majority of their desires, they are prompted with pretty GUI, helpful tips, and hand holding all the way through!
Personal experience:
I try to use Linux in most all my server applications as it carries very low overhead, so the machine can focus less on producing colorful GUI and more on the RAW computing. To say an OS does everything for a user is an understatement, the OS is all the interaction we can achieve with a computer without having to delve into 5years of computer science. I respect Linux and what it can accomplish, however when it comes to my own personal computer I will use Windows 10, I love the ease of access and helpfulness, also creating applications for windows and Linux can be achieved very easily on Windows. Most packages, programs, and games get compiled to Windows ran Binaries so they supersede in most aspects as far as options.
In most cases I like to use Linux only in CLI, I usually have issues and get annoyed while trying to use the GUI of any Linux distro (I know they're very similar to windows, it's just my own opinion). Understanding CLI will make any person a Linux guru in most peoples eyes, everything that is GUI based can di

here’s an installation guide for what the article refers to as FAMP, it seems Apache can be ran on FreeBSD and seems relatively simple aswell. I thought it was cool that Digital ocean posted the article as they are one of the bigger cloud web service providers. I wonder if Digital Ocean uses FreeBSD for their cloud OS, learning cloud services and their installations are key to new technologies because people don’t need to run services on their own hardware anymore.

it looks like malware specifically botnets are going for linux servers in recent years! there is a company providing workshops and lessons for server admins to learn how to identify and fix malware inside linux.

x11 through ssh is something new for me. Essentially you can have a Headless server running bare bone with no GUI, than you can have this server supply a network GUI when ssh'd into it and executing a program.
I originally heard about this from a channel I follow where they were referencing having to remote build through command prompt on the server which was not the most ideal. Other user's mentioned to ssh via x11 and to execute your IDE (vscode, atom, etc.) so than the server can still be barebone/headless majority of it's uptime, but can be elastic to allow the user to comfortably make changes remotely.
 

This is the news for today on the LinuxMint Blog, it's cool they keep their blog updated on current news, it seems that coming out with LMDE4 and Mint20 updates will have nvidia driver support directly from boot.
