Windows VS Linux

[Electron]

Which web hosting do you prefer more? Windows or Linux?

I prefer, Linux more since I am more experienced with CPanel than Window's Plesk. I don't know much about the difference in their operating systems when it comes to the web.

I've tried windows but i supposed both of them are known and has their own features.I'm looking forward to use Linux in the future.

I will say Linux , because of the security issues that Windows haves.

It would most likely be a version of Linux.

Even i guess it will be linux ask your host provider if your in doubt.

A small note to add to topic :

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to run Linux on your own computer in order for you to host your site on Linux platform. That is not true. Which operating system you run on your computer is irrelevant in making your decision.

Linux is an open source system and is therefore more cost-effective to operate and maintain than Windows, meaning that Linux hosting will cost you less than Windows hosting. Linux also has a reputation for stability and speed which means that Linux web servers will crash less often than Windows web servers and Linux runs most processes faster than Windows.

The main "advantage" or distinction of Windows servers is that they can run Microsoft software such as Access and MS SQL databases. Windows servers also offer web developers the use of Microsoft's programming environments such as Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic Scripts, MS Index Server.
