AI Development Server

Overview

Description

I use this MS Windows 11 Pro for Workstations server with Windows Subsystem for Linux (wsl) to test and configure applications that require substantial processing power. Windows is a more familiar environment and is easy to remotely access, but is less stable than Lenux that I use in production.
