> [@Grummelwutz](#): > > we dont like closed Systems or Programs Go back to the discussion when the Windows support in ownCloud 8.0 was discontinued to see the reasons. The php implementation in Windows was leading to data loss and there was no real fix for that (they tried a few work-arounds). And to ask Nextcloud to fix all the shortcomings of XAMPP is probably a bit too much to ask for. However, if you want to make it work on Windows, you can do it, it’s open source! > [@Grummelwutz](#): > > and a virtual Machine just for Nextcloud? No! Why not? It’s easy to manage, backups are easy, migrations to a different host, … Even if you want to work on a Linux Desktop, I would recommend you to use a different virtual machine and keep one dedicated to Nextcloud. Or a cheap ARM device: > [@Best cheap hardware to run Nextcloud on?](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/best-cheap-hardware-to-run-nextcloud-on/4715): > > We have the Nextcloud Box which runs on a Pi2. Support for Pi3 should be there soon, but it’s not very different than the Pi2, especially in terms of RAM. I’ve seen posts mentioning some Odroids. What is the experience like? Any other hardware you found interesting? We’re talking about sub-$99.99 single board computers here.
