i haven’t done serious it work since xp and still any troubleshooting and even searching for personal computer answers is still far easier on windows. the fundamentals are fundamentals especially when you watch them get more complicated since dos. hide and seek and tricking windows is a familiar game. whereas linux will always be somewhat strange despite having used them equally as long and the more recent.

CultRepo’s video coming to youtube in 2027!

agreeing with orclev - i setup an older nvidia gpu pc on linux mint and that pc has to have all other applications closed to play minecraft when it used to handle youtube video or actual video running and maybe an antivirus scan in the background and minecraft on top fine in windows.

GPU is running (as opposed to when the driver failed to load haha) but some kind of processing is still on CPU, i tracked down the problem but the point where i figured out i need to keep up with the latest vaapi and compile it to just diagnose it i stopped and told the kids how to quit other programs first before minecraft. or bloons.

edit: found my problem. mission center randomly spikes in cpu and memory use and gets to 99% in both…and i’m constantly running it. now i bask in swap utilization 0% forever and ever
