Note: The Windows version currently only supports CPU and GPU profiling, but not memory or copy profiling.

That's a problem with many of the profiling tools around Python. They often support Windows badly or not at all.

Isn’t the modern Windows runtime just Linux anyway?

(Scalene author here) Nope, but WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is, and Scalene works great with it.

Er .. no? The modern Windows runtime, for various definitions of those words, is the confusingly named "WinRT" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/cpp-and-winrt-...

Underneath it's still substantially similar to good old Windows NT.

There's a Linux "subsystem". Well, two of them. WSL1 is an API translation layer that ends up being cripplingly slow. Don't use it. WSL2 is more of a VM that just runs a Linux distro. This is before you get into third party compatibility layers like cygwin and mingw.
