Very complete list. Another plus is that there is no distinction between Home/Pro/ultimate user nonsense, the same OpenSSH you'll have in your server is the one included in your machine, the same Bash, "server grade" anything is exactly what you use daily; no "lite" or "home" castrated versions; if is good for Google's servers, NASA, CERN, etc. Is good for you, you don't deserve less than that.
You want to work with Kubernetes?, OpenStack? Docker? you got it, no emulations, no lookalikes, the real deal. You learn to admin your own machine, you are learning at the same time how to admin a server, your machine is a server with extra stuff on it and that is awesome. All the "user friendliness" is just icing on top of the same, "server grade", professional, ultimate, real world battle tested big guns.
