LOL.  Double LOL, even.  We -- and a huge number of other organizations -- are completely wrapped in the Windows environment, from Outlook and Excel to SharePoint to the myriad of 3rd party programs that only work on Windows.

Not at all, we found that Linux "expertise" is 1/10 the cost of Windows

(And, of course, the Windows server might already exist.)

But why even bother paying for MS licenses? Postgres runs like a train

Well,

on Windows you should try ReiserFS over a nvme optimized WHQL

I am aware that this might be a broad question, but I am not expecting
*very *specific answers either:

When it come to running a modern PostgreSQL server, which serves say 1
TB of data, are there substantial differences in performance between
Windows Server 2019 and Linux today?  I know there are some issues
with shared_buffers and windows, but does it manifest in real
performance issues?

I have searched the web for this question, but is surprised to find
very few concrete benchmarks on this.  Anyone with real world
experience on this topic?

best regards
