Playing Minecraft on ZorinOS...

[@aadityalikesmiatas]

I installed Zorin OS on an old Netbook I found at my grandma's house and it ran pretty well. Personally one of my favorite Linux distros.

[@theairislovely]

yup I like it as well it'a pretty dang good

[@kittenzrulz]

You should consider OpenSuse as YaST gives a GUI to installing software from a repository.

[@avast_virus]

i use OpenSuse on a daily driver, and while YaST is pretty useful for some scenarios like installing nvidia drivers, the system feels kinda bloated so it may struggle on older specs and it's harder than zorin or ubuntu it's just for more advanced users, but the distro i would recommend to anyone is Solus, it doesn't have YaST, but it's still a solid distro, and it's made for begginers and it's also independent

[@l6vender]

I think you should try Q4OS which based on Debian, so it is stable and supports old hardware

[@whoman0385]

probably not your favorite distro but your favorite ui

[@moonphoenix9324]

The cursor thing is a problem with Mutter (the window manager that GNOME uses [which is the default desktop in Zorin, Ubuntu, Pop_OS!, Fedora and more]) and GNOME 43 (which should be coming to more distros soon, it’s only on the beta version of Fedora as of writing) promises some gaming improvements to Mutter. So hopefully that gets fixed and should be rolling out to many more distros in the future.

[@niewidocznyy_linux]

It's now only GNOME issue. I've had it happen on KDE, i3 and QTile with old versions of Minecraft. You can fix that by running Minecraft in Gamescope.

[@moonphoenix9324]

@@niewidocznyy_linux I’ve only noticed it on GNOME, but running it under the game scope would probably help

It works better if you set the correct ratio. 1920x1080 downscaled to 800x600 the ratio is 16:9*120

[@tuna8290]

Another tool that helps it look better while on lower resolution is AMD FSR. This is an upscaling tool that helps games run smoother at lower resolution that looks better than manual upscaling. To use it for Minecraft and any other games, it's called Lossless Scaling on Steam. The catch, its for windows only

I feel it might be because Minecraft STILL requires X11 to run under Wayland too, so Wayland has to do the entire translation back and forth Note that this isnt a Wayland problem per se, it's mostly because LWJGL (the thing Minecraft uses to display graphics into a window) depends on GLFW which has...

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

[@kim-hendrikmerk4163]

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example. Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it. You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument. Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD? If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.
