Yeah... That might be something on your end then, because me and my friend both use Linux, and we've also had no issue.

Yeah, it is kinda funny how pissed he got at me.

Ehh... Not really incredibly outdated? I mean most Linux systems with a few exceptions (looking at you Alpine) use gnu software in them, and it is a somewhat fair argument to say that a kernel isn't an entire operating system and other factors should be considered. Also why the quotation marks? It is a Linux joke, and if you don't like our humor than you can just kinda... Ignore it? I mean it's not like someone has you chained to a chair, forced to only look at linuxmemes.

Welcome to 90% of WM's friend.

I would say that early alpha and beta was quite difficult, and was significantly harder than modern Minecraft.

What I find interesting is the fact that if you go to earlier versions like Alpha and Beta, it is actually much harder to do stuff, eg much less forgiving worldgen, harder caves, slower movement, lack of automation, and worse gear, which progressively gets easier until 1.13 or so when time investment spikes, but the difficulty stays the same.

Ehhh, my main argument would be that the game is constantly getting easier, and another less subjective reason it's gotten worse would probably be that they don't devote enough time to optimization, so the game runs worse every update.

Maine has a similar law too I believe.

I would personally go with the pixel line, as they just have the google spyware, and not 3 other companies spyware installed on top of Google spyware. Also they generally have decent security updates, and get them faster than most other brands, and then you have the option to switch to grapheneOS should you want too. They are also fairly affordable especially if you are getting them second hand.

There is the Milwaukee protocol, but that is almost never successful, usually results in brain damage, and has only been used a handful of times. Also it's banned in many locations from the inherent risk and lack of evidence for it working at all.
