Now, gamers will want to play on Linux for the low latency on online games.
Most low latency use cases in games use UDP, not TCP.
Yeah, that would make sense as opening TCP connections is not really viable for low latency, hahaha.
Opening the connections is one thing but resends and stream ordering can also cause issues since they might delay the latest information reaching the user space application even if the packet for them has actually arrived just because some earlier packet has not. There can also be issues with implementations waiting for enough data to be available before sending a packet.
This proves once and for all that Linux is the superior platform!
when was the last time you heard any such news for PC or MAC?

A few seconds ago, when I read that the new Linux kernel contains TCP related performance improvements!
