After using #Linux 100% for the last several years, switching back to #Windows, it becomes infuriatingly clear that Windows does not, in fact, have a fully preemptable OS design.
So many things can interrupt userspace and ruin interactivity. It's why Windows feels "freezy" and a little unpredictable. Like, you never know if your mouse is going to slow down, or an app will crash, or a blip will happen in your audio. Because the kernel is a tangled mess of custom bespoke spaghetti edge cases built up over generations, not a consistent predictable scheduler that just schedules predictably.
Linux is a very mature, superior OS, and it's becoming more so by the week.
