best programs to run on a powerful remote server?

[Betonhaus]

I have a home server that has a windows 10 ltsc VM with 32gb ram, 1/2 of a e5-3696v3, and a dedicated NVIDIA k6000 that I have for running applications such as Mastercam or Solidworks remotely, but i was wondering what other windows-only applications would be worth throwing on there also?

Home server nice idea, WIndows 10 servers suck at the best of times.

Personally I would use a dedicated server system rather than natural Windows 10. If its a games, Viseo and music streamer, I install WAMP 64, free simple to set up and a decent self use system installed or just sling a UNVC client in there to talk to it byu desktop or command line

I use mine as part of home theater setup. It handles all the video processing, etc. editing, and everything you can think of. I couple that with a 4 bay NAS. Getting ready to include a HDHome run. There are a bunch of program alternatives to Win 10 although they may not support the programs you wish to run as DaaS. That's why Win 10 is possibly the best answer despite it's downsides. I guess if you can define your needs, you can map out what you can or cannot run there are good robust alternative O/Ses. Reddit has a good sub for home servers to see what others do with a setup such as yours.
Personally I do run Win 10 to allow flexibility and yes it's a pain for networking and I tend to curse when I have to set up another user access. I understand why you ask your question, but the best answer I can give is, "Depends". Sorry.
