Need advice from experienced Rust server owners (Windows vs Ubuntu)
Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of building my first self-hosted Rust server and I'm trying to decide whether to run it on Windows 11 or Ubuntu.
My hardware is:
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition Sixteen Core 5.60GHz
64 GB DDR5
WD Black SN850X 2 TB NVMe
The server will be for around 15–20 friends and I'll be using Carbon, a custom map, RoamingNPCs, and a handful of plugins.
My dilemma is that this is also my gaming PC. If the server performance on Ubuntu is significantly better, I'm happy to dual boot and run the server there. However, if the performance difference is only small or negligible, I'd probably prefer to stay on Windows so I can both host the server and use the PC for gaming without switching operating systems. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
It's my first ever PC BTW so I'm new to all of this 🫣😅
Thank you
