Yes that’s winning for white, did you follow through the computer moves after the game? Computers can be trusted to show you the path to win as white. Black can never make progress and white will slowly force the pawns to get eaten away. Play through the computer lines and see.
I think it’s a draw
Yes, it is winning.
Black's only chance is to keep his pawns where they are, but this is not possible- white alwaays has the destructive d4-d5 break.
Implementation is easy: rook on the e-file to keep the Black king at the f6/f7 squares.
Whenever Black plays ...Kf6, then Re5 follows, and Black is short of good waiting moves.
Amazing

If your lazy and just want the game, ok. I know this is from chesskid (I am SCS-JamesHan) But I couldn't figure out a way to win. IS this winning, even though the computer says so? I don't trust the computer cause, you know, we're kind of going to go in circles.
Ya is this position in the end winning? I don't think so.
