Samsung S21 Ultra that I got in September of 2021

I’ll probably go another year before upgrading, depending on how much it makes sense financially.

Might be able to find a flatpak and use flatseal to restrict it as much as possible

As others have been saying, it’s most likely a Java issue.

Make sure to install (or reinstall) Java8 and make sure it’s selected in the prism launcher for use under v1.8.9 specifically. That way, you can continue to play using Java17 on recent versions a bit simpler than having to constantly swap Java versions

But, but… it’s .3% faster!!!1!!

Same with fedora iirc.

I’ve used fedora for a long time and pretty much had the same experience you described. It works until some random obscure program doesn’t like Wayland.
