We're one of those "stuck" in windows, as are most of my clients;
Application licenses, Windows platform licenses, Remote desktop
licenses, Terminal Server licenses...on and on.
A five year examination of licenses and application costs are staggering.
Our wish is to be free of those costs, and have a significant edge
on our competition....or at least use the hundreds of thousands of
dollars for other uses.
Best to be knowlegable of both to see how clearly your being ripped off.
But I do understand the walls you'll encounter trying to change the IT
infrastructure.
People get a new phone, and don't make a peep about all the learning
they do; but dare you take away they're Excel spreadsheet..murderer..
Just saying,

Not at all, we found that Linux "expertise" is 1/10 the cost of Windows
expertise. Time to plan for getting rid of the site license.

Your comment assumes that OP does *not* have have a site license, and

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
