From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wonder why they went with a version of Windows 11 Pro instead of Windows 11 Pro for workstations?
I haven’t used windows regularly since windows vista, is there an actual difference between those two version in performance?
It’s supposed to be tuned more toward heavy workflows, such as rendering and CAD. It has support for more RAM (6TB) and quad SMP along with ReFS, and SMB Direct.
I only found out about it because we needed a beastly set up for combining lidar and drone aerials in Autodesk.
Can you buy that, or do you have to get it bundled with the machine?
Turns out you can actually buy it. I was under the impression it was for OEMs only.

Thanks!
They said they tested using the version of Windows preinstalled by HP, as (presumably) HP would have fine-tuned it for the machine.
Preinstalled by the OEM? That sounds like it has Windows bloat and HP proprietary bloat.
Is there some reason to think that running Windows 11 Pro for Workstations would have made a difference in a CPU benchmark? I'm not seeing anything obvious on the feature list for that version that would make that be the case.
ugh. does that allow more than one rdp I wonder?
