Data centers, the things that physically store and share applications and data, require an enormous amount of energy to run. These giant storage units, responsible for 1-1.5% of global electricity consumption, have traditionally relied on renewable sources like solar and wind but it seems as though renewable energy just won’t be able to keep up with the demand required moving forward.

I've done countless installs of both windows and Linux over 20 years. Windows seems to work, until it doesn't. Then it needs a refresh which they don't make easy. Linux installs, with about the same number of exceptions as windows "work out of the box" with no messing with anything. When you need refresh, you simply, back up, wipe the partition and start over.
