unbearable maintenance and being fat. Linux had a monolithic kernel. I
compiled it for each machine to include only drivers I needed. I did not

Well, handheld gaming to gaming is like masturbation to love. Sorry...On the other hand you still cannot have decent gaming under Linux.Actually, you can. Look at the Steam Deck, which runs a purpose-built GUI

Windows “Handheld Mode” for about two years now, but still has nothing toAgain. It is called overlapped I/O. You can start multiple *asynchronous* I/O operations from a thread. It can be done on any sets of file handles. When an I/O event happens on a handle the corresponding event gets signaled. select() behavior is achieved by WaitForMultipleObjects that waits for multiple events. Then you check the overlapped results. If you never wait and only check the overlapped results that would be polling.

One problem: you can’t use them with poll/select calls.
You can. See overlapped I/O.
they work with sockets, but not with pipes. Or even ordinary files. So
unlike *nix systems, you have to keep in mind the different kinds of files
you might be working with.
No, I am talking about proper file paths under Windows. Letters is a DOS layer on top of it. E.g. see QueryDosDeviceW call.Drive names are only single letters. You’re not talking about reservedAnd single drive letters?>
