The difference is the OpenGL implementation.

On Windows, Chrome uses the ANGLE middleware to implement WebGL. It's a layer that implements the OpenGL ES 2 API on top of Direct3D 9. That solves quite a lot of driver quality issues (at the cost of some overhead).

So the question is, which GPU/driver was being used on Linux.
