Updated my 10 yr old grandson's Kubuntu this afternoon.
I had installed Kubuntu 14.04 on his Toshiba Skullcandy laptop almost a year ago. His dad, my son, hadn't upgrade it and my grandson wasn't happy with the performance. When he was dropped off today at noon I had them bring his laptop along so I could make his Minecraft mod configuration identical to mine so we could reestablish remote play on more than just a vanilla map.
When I ran "sudo apt update & sudo apt dist-upgrade" on his box 906 packages came down the pipe, including Plasma 5.8.5. I then proceeded to set up his Minecraft mods to be like mine. With forge, liteloader and optifine his fps was a steady 60 (vsync) and the 26 mods worked perfectly. I set Xms at 2GB and Xmn at 512MB. A lower Xms caused the forge loader to crash before completing its work. He started playing as a single player using a new map and then opened it up to me. I logged on and his Minecraft instance continued to work flawlessly at the same speed.
We enjoyed 3 hours of mortal combat, when we weren't killing zombies to protect a village!
