VishalSingh15 - PeerSpot reviewer
A developer-friendly and highly customizable operating system that offers cost savings
The tool's setup can be done in two ways: with a GUI and without a GUI. You can install the GUI. You download the base image, and during installation, it will ask you whether you want just a plain server or a server with a GUI. It will give you all the options, including whether you want a non-graphical user interface normally used in enterprise environments. You don't need any GUI in enterprise settings because those servers are installed and managed without it. If you use the GUI, it will consume more RAM and CPU. However, if you use just the simple non-GUI version, it will use fewer resources. On the server side, people typically don't use the GUI; they only use the non-graphical user interface because it is sufficient for running the server. On the desktop or workstation end, you can have the GUI installed. If a system is the latest one, with a high-end CPU, a good amount of RAM, and SSD drives, it should not take more than ten minutes.

User appreciates ease of use but desires improvements in pricing and update process
I do not find Windows 10 compatible with my applications as I am not using any legacy applications. Regarding my experience with Windows 10, I was annoyed with updates that constantly make my PC restart. Additionally, the user interface could be more intuitive because it is sometimes too hard to find specific items.
