From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think a big part of why they talked about it in the video is to explain their base assumptions for the test. They've discussed it with Windows enough that they don't need to say those anymore, but the Linux tests are new.
In addition, they do need to change theur workflow simply because they can't use the same software and scripts for Linux.
They're also addressing the reputation that Linux has among Windows users, even if that reputation is outdated
