alt Hacker NewsIs it safe to say that this positively affected me? For the very first time I installed Linux Mint on my old gaming with a 1080 TI and installed Minecraft/Steam. Minecraft ran beautifully and it is Java Edition 26.2. I've had a harder hit and miss time with games on Steam.

Unless you changed the setting it still uses the OpenGL backend by default

Am I crazy? Even a 1080 TI should have zero problems running Minecraft Java Edition...

Did you have a bad experience with Minecraft on Linux before 26.2..?
Minecraft (and Java) just runs great on Linux. I've personally experienced a 30% performance improvement from Windows.
