I'm a Windows guy since forever and I recently got into selfhosting. So far its a blast! Are posts about that welcome here?

I don't think that Linux is in the title or description of this community!

You pick your own poison ....

Mine is Gentoo Linux all the way, yours is Windows. Find two more selfhosters and they will criticize both of us! We are kind of the two extreme of the spectrum....

Welcome!

So true! I met a friend of a friend at a church social last week and he spent the whole time trying to convince me to try FreeBSD instead of selfhosting on Windows. I might try it someday but as polite as he was about it he just couldn't get the hint lol

Yeah, but you'll probably figure it out eventually.
