I think I have a pretty unique Setup.
My workstation is a Mac M1 Mini with 16 Gigs of Ram and a 49" Ultra-wide monitor, as well as an Intel NUC PC with 64 Gigabytes of Ram which I have sitting on my network rack. I connect to it from my Mac via Virtual Desktop. The NUC is running Windows 11 Pro, pus a few virtual machines including Windows Server (For Domain Controller, Active Directory, etc) and an Ubunutu Server, plus a couple of virtual Windows 10 Machines and a Virtual Network switch. All accessible from my Mac.
Why? For educational purposes. I started doing this during Covid as I had mainstream clients who wanted to migrate from their phyical offices to cloud services like Azure and AWS.
If you like learning stuff and are a geek with no friends or social life like me, then I strongly suggest you setup a Home Lab similar to this. It really helps to strengthen your IT skills.
