The fact is that Linux is at the end of the feeding chain, so don't expect any big FPS in games, that's Windows world. This days will found some morons that will install Ubuntu on 700$+ system that's stupid. Linux can be very good for workstation and cheap one, that's it.

There were slowdowns in Ext4 due to some changes, but this is about scheduler latency. Btw. Phoronix become so unresponsive it's hard to edit a post in time.
as well as other improvements
User-mode scheduling (UMS) is a lightweight mechanism that applications can use to schedule their own threads.
These were not present in Vista.
Of course there are many other factors which effect the end users experience as to what is responsive to them and what is not, such as pulseaudio (or really audio as a whole in linux), power management, graphics, etc etc. Yes I'm aware that most of the regressions come from the Ext4 filesystem but that has to be taken into account when talking about the end user experience.

Games are very important for desktops, but there are also other things. Some people even prefer playing under Wine then keeping Windows on a hard drive.

Nice work, Michael!
The most important results are without doubt those of XPlane, Unigine and SPECviewperf, and Linux makes a strong showing in all. Specific anomalies aside, performance results are very similar to what I am observing in my own (non-PTS) tests.
We can safely ignore any test that exceeds 200fps or so. Performance differences above that point are meaningless and reveal little about real-world performance in modern software (they are equivalent to glxgears in that regard).
Finally, please don't feed the Ubuntu-is-not-Linux trolls.
