Wait - what is the dev edition of windows?

Edition is probably a bit generous (although that's the verbiage they used at the BUILD conference), but its a set of winget configs (works like Ansible) to disable a bunch of stuff, install WSL, starship, coreutils, node, python, whatever other SDKs you want, etc. with one command. https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsDeveloperConfig

I believe they used the word edition because they plan on offering W365 cloud VMs with this config pre applied.
