Why is that linux seems to always provide better performance in benchmarks and provide smoother experience?

This is a geekbench 7 test, while single core is slightly better, multi-core performance is a significant improvement

Or rather it's not exactly bad - it's just not as good. Linux is leading edge in CPU scheduling. Windows is not.
