Also the opposite end, with many CPU cores/threads such as the threadripper (2990wx, which is 32c/64 threads). It doesn't work under Windows 10 well at all, even with crazy hacks like coreprio https://bitsum.com/portfolio/coreprio/ https://bitsum.com/portfolio/coreprio/. I've found Windows 11 out of the box works just as well as Linux. I never really need to dualboot Windows (I don't play as many games these days), but W11 looks like a lot of hard work has gone into making the scheduler and other tools work well. It's just a shame their UI is absolute garbage.

For me, W11 seems to have really messed things up with the scheduler. If I'm playing just about any game on my primary monitor, I can't leave a media player window or a browser window with youtube on the second monitor because Windows starves the (visible!) unfocused window if the focused one is using lots of resources. This makes the YouTube video I want to watch in the background stutter like crazy and often completely freeze until I refocus the window. With games that support a gamepad and accept input while not focused, I've started leaving a browser window focused so that it gets correctly scheduled with essentially no noticable impact on the game.

  There's a setting called game mode, turn that off.

    That doesn't appear to help for me.

Even if you did play a lot more games, Steam's Proton has come a really long way, for most of my library playing Windows games under Linux is seamless now and almost seamless in VR too.
