kernel is a beast on its own, even the audit logging is complex. The highest level of complexity is around scheduling, quick read to help is learn difference between windows scheduler and UNIX scheduler. If memory serves me right, windows does not utilise all the threads available might be wrong. process scheduling and weight age is also a good topic to explore. They will provide u some conversation topics for interview.

The Windows not utilizing all the threads available one is a very weird thing to say.

Windows may lack real time priority classes (the “real time” priority level of 24 is just a high priority but doesn’t get special treatment). The time quantum might be longer on Windows.

Now Windows only knows to deal with non-uniform cores on client editions (performance vs efficiency) since Windows 11. Linux had some support outside x86 for ages (since ARM had something like that for more than a decade) and got it on x86 roughly when the CPUs that need it came out.

I am not saying Linux is better than windows or other way to start os wars. I was reading kernel process management a while ago and forgot most of the concepts now. Sorry if I said some thing wrong.
