Why image is blurrier in Windows than in Linux (Ubuntu)?

While viewing an image on Facebook using Google Chrome, I was very surprised to notice (indeed, I noticed it while viewing it) that it better (sharper) on Linux than on Windows, which you can see below.

Is this a well-known issue? How and why it happening?

(I'm hoping for a somewhat more elaborate/informational answer than "because they use different interpolation algorithms"... e.g. the obvious points to touch on would be "what", "why", "how", etc.)

Here is a smaller Windows example, and here is a smaller Linux example.
