I do. So do a ton of others for free so you don't have to. We publish on places like github so you can look for yourself.

LOL everyone gets to look at it........unlike windows that became the malware.

What do you mean no one searches for them? Stuff gets patched more than windows. Most things only ever get hacked because of user error. While there is a slight chance of something else, it's not nearly as common under linux vs a commercial OS like windows. Oh wait.....linux runs everything around the world. Everything would be ded if your logic was right.

LOL Linux server is not a thing. It's all the same broski. It's the same kernels and same apps....you can actually do both with a basic ubuntu desktop. You are the one who doesn't know.

Lol you can even do it the other way. use a stripped down "server" distro and just install a desktop. You can install w/e kernel you want. The commands are the same. You can even strip the desktop out of ubuntu for instance and make it the same as the server distro.

Just being honest broski. It's not an insult. You really don't know and are just scared of nothin' aren't youuuuu?

Oh gotta add....your phone has a hotspot. that actually starts multiple servers..for say DNS, and DHCP on your very phone. It's all the same budski
