So far in the last year or so, I've heard 0 reasons why I'd even need, want or benefit from Win11 over Win10. Tons of reasons in the negative column though. There isn't even anything to salivate over that might make you think it might be worth it to deal with the other tradeoffs. Hard pass.

Unfortunately, there's one very big reason you'll need Windows 11: that Windows 10 won't get security updates forever. After October 14th, 2025, you'll need to "upgrade" to it to stay secure.

That's 4 good years to wait and see.

If only Linux implemented GPU scheduling in that time...

Didn’t you know? “GPU scheduling” is a change that makes the Windows driver behave more like Linux ones. There’s nothing to implement, it’s been done that way the whole time.

edit That’s only if you use mesa, though. Nobody has a clue what the nvidia binary driver is up to.

I wasn't talking about hardware GPU scheduling, that allows sending compute work to GPU using GPU features. I was talking the kind of scheduling, that prioritizes one kind of work over another as in CPU scheduling (e.g. process priorities). Linux does not do that for GPU AFAIK.
