Storage Spaces and ReFS

Not something I'd normally be up to, as most of you who know me probably already realize!
Anyhow, brought some blanked drives home from the old work place. Tossed em into my gaming desktop, because it's the only case I have that'd fit them all. And now I'm off to new adventures in Windows and it's storage subsystem. We'll see how things go in the long term here.
Yes, I actually have Storage Spaces and ReFS in use now, please don't feint on me now.
Good. What's next?

Travis using windows? Is the world ending?
Just because I refused to ask my previous employer to pay for Windows Server licensing doesn't mean it can't be useful. IE Playing games, not nearly enough games available for alternative OS yet
With wine and playonlinux you can get plenty of Windows games running great. Wine has actually come a long way now.
This is true. If you can have an access to source code you can build things with WineLIB and do hybrid applications (Wine-running core calls Linux native libs) and performance and stability is "good enough". It's not what it was five years ago

I might need to investigate Wine again, when I tried it, things were rough to say the least.

I have heard that it's a bit better but not perfect. I'm debating on switching my gaming rig soon.

I would, there are just a few games that I go and play so infrequently, but when I do I just want to game. If it doesn't work I'd be pissed.

Other than a drawback when comparing the performance of a Storage Spaces mirror using NTFS, against a Storage Spaces mirror using ReFS, there are no issues i've heard of.
If your interested about any kind of stress test, take a look here - https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/log-structured-file-systems-microsoft-refs-v2-investigation-part-1

I haven't run Wine in a while, but when last I tried, any app that needed SSL did not work. Browsers couldn't do HTTPS, any app that tried to do encryption or anything like that would fail... If they'd fix that a lot more games and online things would work.

Interesting, had no idea about this.

This is relatively recent as well, like in the Wine 1.9 & 2.0 branches.

Good to know, I was just debating on switching my gaming machine over recently, glad I didn't if this recent hiccup is going to cause issues.

Steam under Wine worked well, as did several of my games. But WOW did not.
