I got similar results when Linux consumed 21% of the CPU just moving a
Thunderbird window around, but Windows used no more than 6% doing the

Which is almost certainly due to better video card drivers on Windows. No one
cares about video performance on Linux, since 99% of Linux usage is as
DB/App/Web servers. Most of those are headless. No video card needed.

That was right something like 20 years ago. But recently games have
really improved on Linux. And games need video cards. It's probably one
reason why Linux Desktop improved recently (the other reason is that
Indians are really using Linux for real now)

Not to mention all the games that run only on Windows, which demand great
video performance. If/when Linux ever becomes a serious gaming platform
(which, let's face it, has about the same probability as Windows becoming a
great 24/7/365 backend server), high end video card makers will start caring
about video performance on Linux.

Your information are really outdated on the subject. So your previsions
are bad.
