Well, one ram increase isn't going to provide much difference, you need more ram, a whole herd!
You can partition your drive to allow duel booting between linux and windows. Or you can get one of the flavors of linux that runs on a virtual drive allowing you to play with it without nuking your PC.
But be for warned vary little is easy with linux and you will have to do a lot of troubleshooting to get many things to work. If do not have at least a passing knowledge of scripts and some basic programing (nothing huge basic and batch is enough) skills you will find linux a pain.
Of flavors out there linux ubuntu is probley the most noob friendly.
But to be fully honest I have not touched anything linux is about 3 years now so there might be something nicer out these days.
Clean Windows 7 install, identical java versions (or rather, latest installs, etc). When it comes to software, I have the absolute bare minimum running on Windows. Like I said, I did my best to equalize the comparison between both environments. Could it be a driver difference? I don't know. The point is that the performance is ridiculous between two platforms to be attributed simply to "number of running background processes". I mean, I can have chrome open in lubuntu and other stuff open with no impact that I was aware on performance. On Windows, I had nothing open and couldn't manage squat. At what point do you draw the line?
While it's true that correlation does not imply causation, I did provide a data point for my case. Did you? I'd encourage you to install linux and try it out. It may not be linux directly that's providing the performance boost. It could, as you said, a variety of things, such as number of background difference, driver differences, etc.
This was the video a long time ago that propelled me to try out linux as I was so skeptical as well at how ridiculous the performance difference was:
Golrith your picture is so big on my phone that it covers the like and reply buttons. So have an imaginary like until I remember on desktop.
Sigh.
Maybe he should have tried installing 64bit Java like minecraft itself was suggesting. Again. Nothing to do with windows vs linux and more to do with this guy not having any idea what he's doing.
Thats the problem with threads like this. Its people with limited tech knowledge trying to give tech advice. The blind leading the blind. So you're basically killing a fly with a sledgehammer here. Install an entire new OS, or properly install java. So when Mr Linux guy comes around for further tech support for a new Minecraft issue, and people give him advice based on him being in Linux, he is going to have a good chance at being lost as all hell.
I have nothing against Linux. Ubuntu has become a great consumer variant. I have everything again ignorance. Preaching the greatness of Linux based on false and ill-informed tripe does more harm than good to an OS that has come a long way in the last couple decades.
If you're just starting out, I would strongly recommend something like a Ubuntu LiveCD -- you can run from these CDs, get used to the environment, and then boot back to Windows just by removing the CD and restarting your computer.
In the longer term, dual partitions mean you can install both Windows and Linux on the same machine, and there are tutorials to do so.
Linux does not easily support most Windows games. Steam and Valve have done a lot of work toward a Linux-friendly environment, so some Steam games are supported -- but only some, a little under a hundred at my last count. Other games are trickier. DirectX is a Microsoft Thing, and since most games are written around DirectX for historical reasons, it's harder to operate in a Windows environment using them. Software compatibility layers like WINE and its successors can get the vast majority of games to work, but this can be somewhat complicated.
((Minecraft, on the other hand, works perfectly fine, since it's both Java- and OpenGL-based)).
You keep preaching the same message over and over, including not necessarily hating Linux. Yet you do not wish to try it but preach your message from an ivory tower of alleged knowledge on the matter, with nothing to show for it. If you're one with much "tech knowledge" (whatever the heck this means), do more than telling us that.
At this point, until you try it, I strongly suggest you keep your sentiments to yourself, because your message has been made clear over the several posts in this thread.
Unlike that video, I do actually know what I'm doing with computers and I still get the same results that he showed there. So until you can come up with a reason as to why this is happening that exceeds "number of background processes", or it "really isn't an OS issue", we can just agree to disagree.
For someone that is against ignorance, you clearly are not doing anything to help the issue other than sharing your distaste for ignorance. We get it, to you, we don't know what we're talking about. But if you don't want to explain other than letting us know that we don't know what we're talking about, why stay in the conversation? It's akin to a person who is in a conference meeting that only says, "That'll never work" or "You don't get it, that'll never work" whenever the group is coming up with plans.
