Minecraft and Starsector, on the other hand, freaking love Linux. They’re dramatically faster.

Vanilla Minecraft, maybe, but vanilla Minecraft can run on two potatoes and a rusty spoon.

Running with shaders, there's a noticeable performance hit on Linux - I drop 20-30 FPS in Mint with the latest Nvidia drivers. Going from ~80 FPS to ~50 is noticeable.

In vanilla Minecraft, going from 300 FPS to 350 FPS is kinda moot.

Maybe a bit of a nvidia on linux being kinda meh thing. On my AMD card, mods n shaders run terribly in Windows but the same mods n settings in Linux are perfectly smooth.

I was testing heavily modded Minecraft, specifically Enigmatica, which chugs even on beefy PCs.

Out of curiosity, what mod are you running for shaders, specifically? That may have an effect.
