    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…

      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.
