PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop" (www.pcgamer.com)

In fairness, it can be easy to go an entire decade playing almost nothing but Minecraft...

At the time, I was running on an very old 2004 Dell Win XP laptop and it still had alright performance.

These days on my full gaming PC, I get amazing MC performance, like 300+ fps vs my friend on W10 gets like 130+ fps.

Linux stays winning!
