I was the only one using Linux (read: sub-par HW acceleration coupled with less-beefy HW) with Chrome with a user-facing web-app at a previous employer. I noticed that the UI was janky on scroll, and when I opened DevTools/Rendering/Paint Flashing I realised everything was being repainted on scroll. The culprit ultimately was a JS library deep down in the frontend that had this unintended side-behaviour. None of the UI devs ever noticed it because on their 15" MBPs on OS X everything ran "smooth enough".
