    does Windows Server Essentials comes with a desktop GUI? Can you install Steam and things like that like you’d normally do in Windows?

    I’m happy with Linux, but my brother who is a gamer has Windows but he’s annoyed af by updates and the AI nonsense. This seems like a perfect solution.

      Yes it is regular Windows but stripped of all the consumer apps like TikTok and CandyCrush. It has one extra app: Server Manager (A GUI like Control Panel with buttons to disk manager, device manager etc) which loads at startup and is easily disabled.
