      There is stress-ng. Understanding the nature of its many tests can be a chore, but I have found it useful.

      One problem with FOSS alternatives is that their test results won’t be comparable with what you see in most hardware reviews and forums, where Windows software is generally used. Having the same tool available on both OS would allow apples-to-apples comparisons, so this announcement seems like good news.
