My wife got a new laptop that came with a windows 11 pro license, so I let her pick. She wanted to try Windows after about 10y or being on Ubuntu. It's only been a few weeks, so time will tell her side but for me, the setup was a hassle. On the system end, it came with 22H2 and didn't want to self-update to its newer self without manual update package downloads. Some KB number is all you get. Log wasn't helpful either. Not just that the system doesn't come with a package manager is a pain but also tweaking Windows to stop showing ads ("suggestions") on every corner and disabling all sorts of telemetry. I do occasionally manage windows terminal servers, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the windows platform, but I wasn't expecting a "pro" license being this riddled with ** that's obviously not in the interest of the user. The enterprise edition seems much more professional in that sense.
