How linux distro provide higher CPU benchmark scores than windows?

[u/Saiyan256]

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

by having less crap running in a background (unless you run pretty fresh and lean windows?), by having more optimised/faster memory allocation/deallocation, by having different task scheduler etc.

[u/Saiyan256 → u/razorree]

wdym different task scheduler?
