How To Install Minecraft Java Edition in Linux

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 2:53am

DISCLAIMER:

Bedrock edition does NOT work under Linux.

\**The video below is for people trying to install Minecraft-launcher directly from* https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download \*\**

Installing Minecraft through Prism or PolyMC also works, but that is NOT the point of this post. This is strictly for people trying to install Minecraft-launcher from https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

Random Performance Drops

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 1:37am

I've searched Google and I've searched through Reddit. I'm not really sure if I'm poising or correctly, but I am getting random performance degradation system-wide, and it's not my distro, DE or install. This has happened to me across several different installs and I'm not sure what is occurring.

It happens during gaming, primarily (as in, I only notice in when I'm gaming, and then I can notice it in certain other applications until I fix it). My performance will just randomly drop or it will start out that way when I launch a game, and the only thing I've found that fixes it, is setting my system resolution to anything else, and then changing it back. This can happen multiple times during a session. It can also, not occur.

It's not distro-specific, de-specific, compositor-specific. It has to be something with my monitor, right? This has happened to me on Mint with X11, Fedora 41+42 with Gnome on (X)Wayland and it's happening on Arch KDE with (X)Wayland.

I'm rocking: GPU: 6650XT 8GB CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X 32GB RAM

CS2 stuttering causes flicks / mouse movements to be inconsistent

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jan 2026 - 12:53am

I'm curious if anybody has run into this issue (or a similar one) and if / how you were able to fix it

NOTE - CS2 is linux native, so any proton related fixes don't apply

CS2 runs relatively well, but I still get a good amount of microstutters. That would only be mildly annoying, except I think mouse movements are somewhat tied to the FPS. I believe they implemented sub-frame mouse input (ie clicking) with the release of CS2, but I don't think that applies to the actual mouse movement

For example: If I move my crosshair from point A to point B with a solid framerate, I know the exact distance I need to physically move my mouse to get there. However, if there is a microstutter mid-flick, suddenly part of the mouse movement isn't even registered, meaning even if I moved my mouse the correct distance, it didn't make it all the way to point B

I've been running into this nonstop, where I'm turning and I can feel my mouse literally pause for a moment when it microstutters. For a lot of games this wouldn't matter too much, but especially for FPS games like CS2 where accuracy is everything it kinda ruins the game.

I've tried googling this sort of issue, or just stuttering in general, but most posts I find are just nonsense AI slop, proton related fixes, or placebo changes that people don't understand (like the -vulkan launch option keeps getting thrown around? cs2 is vulkan native on linux, you can't use a different graphics API unless you use proton)

I've tried a view different launch options, ie the classic LD_PRELOAD="", running without xwayland with SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=Wayland, and gamemoderun (though I've just been using the default gamemode config)

Specs:

9800X3d

3080Ti

Fedora 42

Nvidia driver 580.119.02

Window manager: Labwc (But i've run into this same issue on both KDE and Hyprland)

Would it make sense for me for me switch from my 3070 to something like a 7700 xt/7800 xt?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Jan 2026 - 10:34pm

Started using linux this week (fedora) and it's been great (besides one issue early on which was fixed with a reinstall)

i know that AMD GPUs tends to play so much nicer with linux then nvidia, i have had my 3070 for 5 years now and gpu prices are gonna go up in price from the looks for things.

does it make sense to get something like 7700 xt or 7800 xt for the sake of smoother usage, better performance from better drivers and possibly having getting a gpu with less use the my current one before prices possibility skyrocket?

I face a consistent issue when it comes to playing on a Linux Mint, CachyOS, LMDE 7

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Jan 2026 - 10:20pm

Hello everyone. I am rather new to Linux, and long story short, I wanted to ditch Windows and move on from it. I am fed up with Windows and have no desire to get back to it. Having Linux for me is a must.

Now, to get to the actual issue: every time I tried to play Elden Ring Nightreign on Linux Mint, Linux Mint Debian Edition and CachyOS, I face this one and only singular issue that seems to persist. Random freezes, extremely buggy games when booting them up in windowed mode borderless.

Random freezes that make the game a chore to play especially on Linux Mint and LMDE 7. This applies to CachyOS too.

- The game freezes up after a while. I am able to hear the sounds from the game in the background. Running the game in fullscreen seems to fix this temporarily. It runs fine for a while, however I face a total system freeze after some time.

- The Easy Anti-Cheat pop-up freezes and I am unable to close it. It remains plastered on my screen, and I cannot find myself able to even click the small window that would allow me to close it. A picture below.

Relating to more exclusive Linux Mint and LMDE 7 bugs:

I face the same issues as above, and a very terrible framerates of 25-45 FPS, with the occasional spike to 60FPS. The framerate remains stable, however once I go online, it immediately drops in the mid 20s and low 30s. Why that is, I do not know.

CachyOS allows me to reach a constant of 60 FPS, and when it is working properly without the freezes, the frames are never an issue.

Roblox optimised for afk

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Jan 2026 - 10:18pm

I am using Sober to afk in roblox, and I have noticed that my machine is consuming more energy than I am willing to allocate, about 2x more than what it consumes to afk in Minecraft. I have tried all the in game settings I can find, but still not much change. Is there any other options that can get me to save a bunch of energy usage?

how to fix wine prefix registry and joystick

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 17 Jan 2026 - 9:23pm

i finally switched to mint and one of first things i tried was installing DCS world. i dowloaded proton, wine, lutris ETC, installed DCS throught lutris and it runned fine, but i had problem with my STECS throttle, like 90% of the buttons on it didnt worked. in jstest, both joystick and throttle worked flawlesly, reading out all axises and buttons without problem, but in game i couldnt map buttons from the STECS. after several hours of digging i found [pretty much only tutorial on similar subject that tried to do something about that and offered any solution](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux\_gaming/comments/xil6ra/joystick\_axes\_missing\_in\_games/?embed\_host\_url=https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/how-to-configure-joystick-vkb-when-running-on-linux-steam.641125/) so i tried that. after making mentioned changes in wine regedit game completly stopped recognizing both joystick and throttle. i have no idea how to fix that. i cannot fix nor revert it at all. jstest still sees them without problem, developer configuration software on quickemu windows dont, neither does game itself. i dont have any idea what to do anymore with it
