Windows 8 Outperforming Ubuntu Linux With Intel OpenGL Graphics

Yeah, of course, because any malware will wave a flag in your face that it is present on your system. But anyways, I couldn't care less if you machine acts as spambot, presents you personal information to the world (think twice about online banking), host child porn or whatever.
You know why? Because I can be sure that mine doesn't.

Not necessarily. Trust me, if you use your computer carefully, use up-to-date browser and are wary of crack / porn sites, you can live without antivirus. Even on Windows.

Not to dispute the fact that Windows is flawed by design though.

Because you can also uninstall many Windows programs, "lighten it" and yield better performance.

Bullshit. You won't gain additional performance from clean winblows install by removing programs.

And this is relevant for a driver benchmark in which way exactly?

And you don't have proper desktop with OpenBox, LXDE is a joke.

I'm using windows without antivirus for more than 5 years now, and never saw any virus...

Now you take the values of that benchmark:

mix them together,
and see that you will get much more FPS using something like OpenBox.

And now you have beaten Windows.

Maybe you're just a troll but you can see many people talking like that on the internet.

Hmm, that's why I was unsure if he was serious. Could be he is misinformed, and therefore serious.

Yeah, only linux user could catch a virus in windows I'm using windows without antivirus for more than 5 years now, and never saw any virus... And no one even cares to make viruses for linux... Even mac users have some fun with trojans, you must be so sad, arent you ?
There is no point in runing only benchmarks, i know, its sad, that all you can do in linux is watching benchmarks, but in windows we have actual games
Yeah, there is thousands of thousands great games for windows, i cant write all of them here, but you got the idea, none of them are available for linux.
Yeah, AOL still looks better than any shitty linux DE, plus win8 only has idea of AOL, its looks are very very very good, with best graphics, every element matches other elements, and everything works perfect, so shame on you, buy glasses... Thats one of the big problems of linux, all DEs looks so terrible, and themes for it looks even more horrible, developers must have been very hiiiiiiigh when they made it

You're lying or you connect to Internet from a Linux box. Viruses won't run on Linux as easy as on winblows. On winblows it's enough to connect. Furthermore, if there's need to use antivirus it proves winblows has dozens of unfixed flaws and it's simply broken by design. On real operating systems it would be enough to fix a bug rather then use anti virus (except trojan horses). Winblows 8 is a terrible disaster and I can only imagine how many people will go for something else. KDE kills this shit.

1) Well, its not about word "star", its from "startas" with different ending, lol, try to learn other languages, "not troll" "****bag" xD
2) linux games are very old, very unpopular, with bad graphics, and no one cares about some old games tests, it doesnt say much, linux is not developed for gaming be any means, cause its not good for gaming, and almost no games are made for linux, simple and logical.
3) its bad to think, that ubuntu performs worse than any other shitty distro, its the same linux... plus newest 12.10 and 13.04 beta releases eliminated all the bad things that slowed down 3d performance by 30% - 50% or something like that, so now it performs as any other super duper cuper make yourself distro, so its a noobie thing so say "tralala ubuntu performs worse than other linux distros".

Linux outperforms winblows as Valve has already proven. There will be many more of the great games coming to Linux while winblows will be fading into shadows. There's no future for gaming on os x and there's no future for winblows which is broken by design.

As shown in other more recent Phoronix tests, most of the Unity/Compiz overhead has been eliminated with the latest Raring packages... As used in this benchmark. But for those in disbelief that the Linux OpenGL performance can lose to Windows, I'll happily run some more tests from Xfce and KDE on this laptop to show those results...

The main problem is with benchmarked games. If you throw out Xonotic or Nexuiz Linux will win. Three games (where two of them are using the same engine) is a joke. Btw. when using Kubuntu don't forget to turn the option to suspend compositions.
