So, I stumbled on this thing about Windows 11 Pro for Workstations. Honestly, I didn’t even know it existed until now. You know how most people just stick to Home or Pro? This feels like a hidden gem between the two, almost like a "Pro Max" edition.
The thing that caught my eye is the ReFS support. I’ve heard of it before, but never really needed it. For homelabs or AI setups, though? That’s a solid upgrade. No more consumer bloat either—no Candy Crush shortcuts or Netflix banners. Clean slate for power users.
But wait, why isn’t this more mainstream? It’s been around since 2021, right? Maybe it’s too niche for regular users. Still, for those of us into Linux, hardware tinkering, or running heavy workloads, this could be a sweet spot.
Anyone here tried it? Or is it just another Microsoft experiment we can ignore? Thoughts?
