How are Linux and Windows managed servers different?

Post by Edge100x »

The two fully managed game server machine options are Managed Windows game server and Managed Linux game server.

Windows is the standard, multi-purpose option. Every game type except for Minecraft is available to Windows servers.

The Linux option can be used with regular accelerated, hyperaccelerated, ultraaccelerated, and extreme accelerated servers. The Linux option supports only these games:

GoldSrc engine:
Counter-strike 1.6
Condition Zero
Team Fortress Classic
Day of Defeat
HLTV

Source engine:
Half-Life 2 Multiplayer
Team Fortress 2
Day of Defeat: Source
Counter-strike Source
Garrysmod
SourceTV
Counter-strike: Global Offensive
Left4Dead 2

Others:
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Minecraft
Rust / Rust (with optional updates)
Valheim
7 Days to Die

Note that high FPS servers (ultraaccelerated/extreme accelerated) will have a more fluctuating FPS on a VDS than on a full dedicated machine or regular game server with us.
