But it doesn’t prove much, because the benchmarks were run on different hardware according to the spec image. Maybe not all hardware was detected by the Linux benchmarks, but it does make it hard to draw straight conclusions from this.
Some software runs better on Linux than Windows or Mac (e.g. Docker runs natively on Linux but on Windows and Mac the Docker desktop creates a Linux VM to run Docker on).
You have a portable, local development environment without Virtual Machines.
I have a laptop that belongs to my employer and a personal Linux laptop. It is quicker to use the Linux machine than to work out if I can now install WSL 2 or find a Linux instance to do some Linux work.
I still don’t get what purpose this serves, comparing for the sake of circlejerking.
I experience people telling me the computer runs slower on Linux every day, good to have yet another, updated, link to prove otherwise.

YMMV, but here are some reasons
