I didn't think that these benchmarks would get this much attention. I personally made them because I could not believe that identical Windows and Linux machines were performing so different in typical software development tasks (Git, CMake, GCC, file copying, ...). I threw in a few more machines (Raspberry, Mac, ...) into the mix to get some perspective. Most machines were stock configured (Ubuntu ext4 install for Linux, Windows 10 w/ Windows Defender, macOS X stock install, etc), so I believe that they should be representative for average users. The benchmark suite is open source and easy to run on your own hardware if you like to get more accurate/representative figures for a particular setup.
