Yeah Linux now has io_uring to compete with iocp.

And Windows has in turn cloned io_uring, probably because the latter allows for lower overhead.

Yeah io_uring is more general (flexible) and has some performance advantages over iocp.

Syscall overheads, NTFS and the network stack are so fucking abysmal that any gains are eaten anyway.

By officially supporting wine?

Wine is great, but it is far off from being a substitute for Windows itself. There’s bound to be not just the obvious bugs and incompatibilities but also think of all of the edge cases that Microsoft have implemented fixes and workarounds for over the years. There is, IMO, simply no way that Wine could ever completely replace Windows on a global scale.
