What features does Windows have that Linux doesn't?

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is HDR support, but that wouldn't affect these benchmark results.

Windows 11 has things like core isolation and "memory integrity" on by default now and that, so I've heard, can lower benchmarks by 10%-20%. Not to mention Defender running in the background constantly scanning all processes, which unfortunately can't easily be disabled.
