I’d wager that it’s your scheduler.

How did you know??

Linux used the CFS scheduler which is outdated and not really optimal for desktop usage.

And Linux kernel is full of outdated math. Like outdated addtion, outdated subtraction. /s

If you want “like on windows”, then you need dynamic priority, not another scheduling algorithm. Basically you want your compositor to set lower priority value(which means higher priority) to process whoose window now is focused.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
