I let my brother use mine to play Minecraft.
Here, bro. Here's your laptop
Pay me back some other time.
Tf when your 10-year old laptop can still handle Minecraft. Mine freezes from just looking at it funny.
Got a little better once I wiped it completely and installed Kubuntu, but it's still not really in a great shape
You might be able to play Minetest. It's an open-source engine/launcher for games similar to Minecraft, but it's better optimized.
If you want a very Minecraft-like experience, you can install the MineClone2 game (from within Minetest).
Of course, if you're attached to specific game worlds or friends on Minecraft, those may be more difficult to migrate...
minetest is good and addicting!
yeah it stutters but i got it to playable framerate. (60-70 fps) (performance mods are pretty much REQUIRED, get sodium and like 50 other fabric performance mods,, you'll need all of 'em)
it has a 4 core 4 thread (no hyperthreading) 2ghz amd a6 and 6 gb of ddr3 ram, out of which ~4.5 is usable
also it has a terrible hdd which I don't feel like replacing.
arch with gnome takes 2 minutes to boot, pop os with kde used to take around 5-6 minutes. (windows is painfully slow btw, around 10-30 minutes to cold boot, fast boot or hibernation is not that bad tho)
Dust it out? Or is it one of those that isn't possible to open and maintain at all?
I've had old laptops perform almost like new when I remove the mat of hair on their heat sinks.
Might have to try that. I tried to open it up when I was thinking about getting an SSD for the laptop abd wanted to open it up to see if it has the needed slot, but I didn't figure out how to.
The game is a little choppy without sodium, its an old Thinkpad from 2013 that refuses to die.
Little trooper still going strong
