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!

No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.
