MODERATORS
Windows integrates only very early versions of OpenGL (just kept from the 9x releases). Any modern release is implemented by the driver of your 3D accellerator/video card.
OpenGL on Windows has always been kinda of a disaster (NVIDIA's a little less, but AMD and Intel's are just abysmal), DirectX support being more developed is night and day.
Linux is pretty much OpenGL's home. But a lot of applications just are not optimized well enough to show it. Vulkan being faster is just because the software using it have cleaner codebases for being newer.
