Sarakatunga Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hello, I wanted to know what version of linux you recommend to host a dedicated server. I am using Win 7 pro 64 bits, with a maximum of 16 players and 64 zombies without lag with a fx 8350, 16gb ram, Ssd. But they told me that with linux it might work even better. My goal is to put 20 players or 18. Would it be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I can't say anything about relative performance, but I use debian stable for 2 years now and never had any problem. I know that ubuntu had a problem with finding a steam library a year ago but it seems that was fixed. No news about other distros is probably good news.

Liesel Weppen Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Is there really a native linux server out there or is it just running the windows dedicated via Proton? Every tutorial for installing a dedicated on linux seems to refer to the same apppid 294420. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganoth Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The appid is correct and it loads a native linux server. I have no Proton installed on the machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I've been using Ubuntu for years, though have recently considered switching to Mint or Debian. I personally recommend using LGSM to manage the server. As far as performance goes, I've noticed a difference of about 10-15% between Windows and Linux. You get a nice boost. You also get the added ability to use cron for scheduling, and can make live backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
