This used to be the case, but with io_uring, Linux has very much non-broken buffered async I/O. (Windows has copied io_uring pretty much verbatim now, but that's a different story.)
Could you expand more on the Windows io_uring bit please?
I have run Debian based Linux my entire life and recently moved circumstantially to Windows. I have no idea how it's kernel model works and I find io_uring exciting.
Wasn't aware of any adoption of io_uring ideas in Windows land, sounds interesting
This isn't the same as the old Windows async I/O. ptrwis' links are what I thought of (and it's essentially a 1:1 copy of io_uring, as I understand it).
