Im running Linux on my Servers too. But currently Linux is nothing more than a Server Operating System for me(ok also the base for my Android Phone but yk haha)
I considered switching to Linux a while ago but I currently don't see a reason to.
Windows is working fine. The last Bluescreen I had was when my Power Supply was faulty and updates take seconds thanks to my SSD.
I have all my Programs here and I like it
I recently purchased a Lenovo L340 15 inch for 640 Euros.
It has a GTX 1660 and an i5 9.th gen.
I hasn't arrived yet. But if you want something new look at at a Laptop like this.
There is also a 17-Inch Version for a bit more. But I liked the 15 inch more ^^
It could boost your Performance.
Especially on a weak Laptop.
This could always help. Not only in Minecraft!
Yeah. I think this is a problem because Minecraft tries really hard to keep Memory usage clean.
So more Memory space means more Garbage Collection performance is taken??
It would make sense to me. I really need to read a bit about Memory in Java ^^
I think you shouldn't ask this question in "Off-Topic".
There is a Modding Help Category on this Forum.
And if every Mod needs to create a new nether we would have a huge problem.
