this question is pure curiosity
i have a laptop with a 2nd gen i3 clocked at 1,40 GHz and intergrated Intel HD Graphics and it runs Minecraft at 20-25 fps with Windows 10
Until this Morning i installed CentOS with KDE and decided to test Minecraft, and to my suprise it actually runned Minecraft at average 60 fps 0.0
But how?!?!?!?!?? im really curious to find out why Linux made such difference
Windows 10 was clean btw, it was a 3 month old installation that i barely used
i don't hate Windows, just wanted to point that out

Could be a simple driver issue. Could be the fact that WIN 10 has a lot going on in the background and your laptop isn't exactly the fastest girl on the block anymore. Just be grateful and enjoy linux since you dont like windows. :)

Actually, im pretty sure i didn't have driver issues
And who said that i don't like Windows, my main desktop runs Windows 10 and i love it
Your theory about background processes is probably true however :D
