This has been my concern too. It's great that we're seeing some specific cases where Linux benchmarks faster than Windows, but that doesn't mean a damn thing if the one thing I'm trying to play just full on won't work.

Telling me that I can just also run Windows is counterproductive. If Windows will do everything I want, and Linux will do only some of what I want, now you're trying to sell me on increased complexity and difficulties and learning a whole new system, without actually getting rid of the problems that come with running Windows in the first place.
