They approached this from a noob perspective and the benchmarks seemed pretty rough. The blog has an overall positive tone on linux which is nice even though it got murdered in performance.

I'd like to see a follow up with optimizations, get some of the linux community involved to help setup an optimized linux test bench to go toe to toe with their "golden image" windows 11 benchmark setup.

They benchmarked a few distros against each other and it was very samey which I expected, the real difference is between the drivers/kernel and desktop environment since most distros come very light in terms of installed software.

Distro wars is because every time someone does something linux related 99% of the comments are you should have used X distro. I thought it was good they included that section. Remember this isnt aimed at linux users its for PC gamers unfamiliar with linux.

I get it, I see the comment sections. Tribalism is everywhere.

It's those Nix fanatics that are so tribal. Us Debian enjoyers are just trying to show people the light.
