    Is futex2 better than futex?
    While this was made specially for Wine, is this only for Wine, or should all of Linux use futex2 instead of futex?
    It's not just for Wine. Nothing in the Linux kernel is just for something, its userspace API are available for all applications.

    As to whether it's better or not I've no idea. Since so many people are working on it, it looks like Windows has some APIs which are ill-represented in Linux, so a closer implementation could bring huge benefits in terms of performance/usability.

    Maybe it can help things like Star Citizen, which has a issue of loading on objects, even textures on a pure NVMe high end system. Has been a big issue for a while for SC under proton or wine.
