Trying to install and use Windows and Linux on the same machine is tricky, both tend to override the bootloader of the other if they're installed on the same drive, so it's hard to get them to play nice with each other in a dual boot setup. Windows in particular is pretty bad about this. Personally, on my desktop I keep Windows and Linux installed on separate drives, which if I have to install/reinstall an OS, I completely disconnect the drive with the other OS so the one I'm installing/reinstalling don't mess with the other OS' bootloader. Trying to fix the other OS' bootloader once another OS install messes with it is NOT fun.

Yes it's really low-end machine.
The odd thing is that JRiver seems to be working much better on windows than linux on this machine...
And now it's a nightmare, I lost the touchpad on windows (which is the only os booting), so in the end I broke a working machine... And stupidly I didn't do a full backup before starting these tests   :'(
Now I understand why people tell that linux is for very patient nerds, I'm already seeing this as an horrible nightmare.
Now I need to wait for ages that this machine, that I didn't update since months, do all the latest windows update to check in the end if I can get the touchpad working again...

I used JRiver extensively on a high end Windows then Linux PC.  I found that JRiver runs better on Windows than Linux.

Awesome Donkey:
Well, try running the benchmark on both and see what the results are. For me, indeed, MC on Windows is faster (and performs better) than MC on Linux. It'll all depend on hardware and CPU/GPU being used, of course.

Benchmarks taken on Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.10 on the same machine with the same higher end hardware:

Windows:




Ubuntu:



Over a 2,000 point difference.

EnglishTiger:
If you want real performance then switch to using an off the shelf M4 or M4Pro Mac-Mini

Apple Mac mini with M4 Pro chip with 12 core CPU, 16 core GPU, 24GB Unified Memory and 512 GB SSD

Thanks for sharing those benchmarks, that is interesting.

My issues with JRiver on Linux include other things that I don't think are benchmark related such as weird windowing.
