I haven't thought about Windows server performance in a long time. How long has Linux had this native NVMe support equivalent?

Great addition, but would it really be so hard for Microsoft to ever expose these kinds of options properly like they once did? It should be visible in the Control Panel, it should be named in Group Policy without being gated behind some feature preview MSI. Feels half baked on that side of it; perhaps that kind of thing is harder to actually ship than a major new low level IO feature like this.
