Idle windows is so damn heavy on io :(
Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters?
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 5 days agoMy ESXi box draws 20 watts at idle with 3 Windows VMs and 3 Linux VMs.
Guess which of those VMs draws the most power (hint: it’s not Windows).

Did you install the guest tools and set the CPU governor to the correct scheduler? Do the Windows boxes host the same applications as the Linux boxes?
