That. Pretty self-explanatory if you ask me :P
source wiki thing, a bit old but still fits

Backup's still recommended, but personally I haven't had any horror stories over about a dozen re-installations so ymmv.

Without further ado, here's my new desktop!

I used to have my minecraft.jar on my Desktop... Then I decided I wanted an icon, so I put it back in Downloads and made a custom launcher with "java -jar '/home/steven/Downloads/minecraft.jar' " as the command.
Also, Unity sucks. :P

Well, it turns out that Minecraft lags really badly on Ubuntu, so I'm going to have to play it on Windows instead.

there several reasons that it could be lagging, not the least of which is that unity exists.
what java runtime are you using? what command are you using to launch the jar? it might not be allocating enough memory for itself, or it might be an openjdk problem.

I'm using Java 7 SE, and just right-clicking on the icon and selecting "Run With > Java 7".

what about hardware? also, i mentioned unity as a prime suspect because compiz+it makes for an incredibly bloated, resource-hogging window manager+compositor. if i were you, i'd install something more sane, like mint with MATE, and then run compton for compositing (desktop vsync, transparency, window shadows if you want them, etc). well, actually, if i were you i'd install arch :P

Also did you install video drivers ? That's pretty important as fbdev doesn't provide acceleration.

I don't do games much, but personally gnome classic/"fallback" with metacity for a wm seems pretty lightweight, esp. after you end synapse, nemo/nautilus (strongly suggest nemo btw ;)), etc processes. If you really want to, you can set up a script or a couple of launchers to switch between compiz and metacity (guessing compiz-fusion icon is defunct by now, but there's prolly something).

Also it can look/be pretty slick if done right. :P

Just as a side note java from oracle seems to run a bit faster than openjdk. Sounds like you don't have that tho, so yeah.


Speaking of posting desktops, did some polishing* and now woo 64-bit os. Not that it's visible but yay.
*and manually edited a certain set of jupiter icons b/c ubuntu's default icons have this sickly yellow tinge to them
