I don't even use Samba. NFS is supported on Windows 10/11 for when I have to use Windows.

  For merely copying files NFS is fine (personally I use scp for that). But when you need to host content that Windows apps want to use with full Windows semantics, then SMB is the way to go.

    Can you give a few examples of apps where this is a real problem?

      Microsoft Office (local versions of course) is the main offender here :-). I'm not sure how much testing they do against non-Windows servers.

  Note that NFS support on Windows is only for pro editions, quite frustratingly.
