Notes

  • -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true enables Hardware-acceleration via OpenGL, but as of 2018/10/10, this is broken with Intel Graphics on multiple computers 2)
  • I use jagexappletviewer.jar from OldSchool.msi because it allows the copyright footer bar to be removed upon logging in 3) 4)

  • p7zip-plugins is needed to extract jagexappletviewer.jar from OldSchool.msi later 5) 6)
sudo dnf install java-openjdk && sync
