mio 0.7 claims to implement wepoll, no?

Replying to
I meant this one: crates.io/crates/wepoll- which sits under smol's stack (which is also tall, but more approachable (modulo futures themselves)

that is in fact what happened
the problem isn't a windows license (pirating LTSC is a moral imperative) but the fact that in everyday interactions windows these days got less usable than late 2000s linux desktop

i've watched my roommate--a person whose technical skills i respect--spend several weeks trying to set up a dual booting nixos/win10 system with uefi
i believe she's on the fifth reinstall from scratch, and having seen that breakage, i know i won't do much better, either

Used to be in a tiny IRC channel with someone that used Xen to be able to run Windows for gaming with PCIe passthrough. 90% of their posts in that channel (not really a technical channel) was complaining about PCIe passthrough breaking and asking for help debugging it.

yeah I've tried it, hit an issue with PAT/MTRR and write combining ranges in graphical memory, tried fixing it, decided KVM it is (I might actually set up KVM with PCIe passthrough if wine doesn't work out)

I personally prefer having Windows on a totally different machine for gaming. For some reason I still have my better GPU in my workstation from back when I thought dual booting was a good idea but... that'll be fixed when I replace it with a new workstation.

I'd have issues if I actually wanted to play a demanding game but I haven't for at least a year. Been planning to make a nice Threadripper workstation and retiring this one into a gaming computer but Canadians don't get to buy nice computer parts anymore thanks to COVID, I guess.
