Is that not Linux helping pay the bills?

Phoronix does not benchmark <insert game here> because it does not have a benchmark mode for Linux or has a benchmark that is hard to automate. (For source, it is hard to automate I beleive).
These tests use the following opengl levels.
Unigine requires openGL 3.2 (and higher if available)
Xonotic openGL 2.0
Open Arena openGL ES
As you can see, they cover a decent selection of the openGL feature set. Performance improvements (or regressions) detected by these benchmarks are likely to indicate improvements (or regressions) in other games using the same opengl level.
If you want things to change. Please kindly ask game/benchmark developers to create a benchmark of their game engine that can be launched from the command line. Preferably one that is self contained so it can easily be transferred to the test machines.
Xonotic needs some OpenGL 3.x features to run best, but it can also run on OpenGL 2.x, OpenGL 1.x, Direct3D 9 and software renderer.

Damn did all of you wake up with sand in your panties? Seriously, everyone is nitpicking over the dumbest things or coming up with the worst ideas. Like really, boycotting until they fix things? AMD isn't giving linux users attention because they're already financially struggling and linux is not helping pay the bills. Even if their drivers were better in linux than they were in windows, linux still wouldn't be helping them out enough.

I'm sitting on the coins I've mined since then, hopefully the rate will jump back up but if it crashes to nothing I've not really lost anything other than the cost of the electricity. For me it's just a bit of fun putting my PC to work for once rather than just using it for entertainment.
