Helps everyone who might make the mistake of thinking your information is accurate.

Linux can feel faster in a number of cases because its scheduler is better IMO, but that doesn't help when running something like a game. A desktop feeling snappier won't increase your benchmark scores or framerates.

It'll certainly breathe new life into that crappy old laptop, but it's not magic.
