Haha, I just installed prism (via flatpak) to set it up and see what my Linux performance was like compared to my prior Windows performance a couple days ago.
Don't strongly recall my Windows performance, but pretty sure Linux was doing better, frametimes seemed more consistent for the same result. Also, man, Prism is still the best, such a great way to manage a lightly modded Minecraft instance, with just a few handpicked mods, shaders, and resource packs.
Apparently Java on Linux (for gaming) has some next level black wizardry optimizations compared to Windows.
Many a junk laptop I have restored had Minecraft made playable via linux :)
