Should just use Linux, tbh.

Allegedly, the windows kernel scheduler was superior to Linux's CFS scheduler in certain select metrics.

Except it didn't matter anyway because all of the UWP apps were so crappily made and Microsoft forgot to hire actual devs for their UI so everything lagged and loaded slow.

Oh and it turns out the windows scheduler also handled multi core pretty poorly so people with new hardware suffered performance losses.

And Linux upgraded to the EEVDF scheduler which AFAIK makes it even better than before.

EEVDF?

Earliest eligible virtual deadline first scheduling

Earliest eligible virtual deadline first (EEVDF) is a dynamic priority proportional share scheduling algorithm for soft real-time systems.

In 2023, Peter Zijlstra proposed replacing the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) in the Linux kernel with an EEVDF process scheduler. The aim was to remove the need for CFS "latency nice" patches. The EEVDF scheduler replaced CFS in version 6.6 of the Linux kernel.
