Your colorful chart up top needs a reference to back it up, otherwise im assuming its pulled from Google image search randomly. Bring a proper argument to the table and we will talk, otherwise its just trolling.
As for your XFCE comment I assume you're running via WINE for non-native Linux apps (AKA everything, nearly, and yes I triple boot Win7/OSx/Kubuntu, I use it also) so you're adding even more overhead to the apps/games you're running via wine, with the expected memory and stability issues inherent in running via a compatibility layer. This reduces your performance in almost all instances except the most perfectly supported games on the optimal chipsets with proper drivers installed (Not an easy task, drivers in Linux...4-5 years ago id rather have a root canal than deal with ATI driver issues).
Im trying to understand your argument but there doesn't seem to be one in the slightest beyond desiring a bare bones desktop, which is commendable, but does not inherently grant one gaming prowess or performance in non-native applications. As a guy who spent to much time making EQ/P99 run on his Android phones I can understand experimenting but not the lack of honesty in regards to why or the results of experimentation in real world usage.
