You're right. Linux has always struggled to compete with hypothetical versions of Windows that aren't available. But you see, for testing purposes, we're forced to use the Windows version from this timeline.

I know there are gaming-centric distros but I wonder, if someone built a Linux that was essentially a console equivalent, useless for anything else, how it would fare.

Yeah, I kinda wish the Xbox One didn't exist, too. I get what you're saying though, that stripped-down version of Windows isn't something you can get outside the console. Still, you not being able to use it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's still a fair thing to test against. Windows as a consumer grade OS isn't really meant for gaming. Xbox is Windows stripped down to what's needed for gaming. You can configure Linux to strip down for gaming, so why not compare apples to apples?
