-====== Information ======
-  * Old School RuneScape ((http://oldschool.runescape.com))
-===== Prerequisites =====
-  * [[distros:fedora_workstation_gnome|Fedora Workstation]]
-===== Notes =====
-==== Performance ====
-  * ''-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true'' enables Hardware-acceleration via OpenGL
-  * :!: This is known to be broken with Intel graphics on multiple computers ((does some weird tiling thing and is unplayable))
-  * :!: 2020/09/24: There are no known configurations where ''-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true'' offers a performance benefit
-  * :!: On macOS, using the official ''.dmg'' to install OSRS results in the worst possible performance due to a mix of forced GPU acceleration and Retina with Java 8; it is recommended to manually install OSRS and to use the latest OpenJDK package available instead to workaround this
-  * ''-Dsun.java2d.uiScale'' at 2 and higher improves performance, along with lowering overall texture quality
-  * :!: 2023/01/26: TODO: Use Windows jar with Java 11; macOS jar on J11 doesn't hide copyright anymore, Java 17 default (headless?) doesn't work, and Java 19 (latest) doesn't work
-==== Copyright Footer ====
-  * ''jagexappletviewer.jar'' from ''OldSchool.msi'' was used because it allows the copyright footer bar to be removed upon logging in (([[https://github.com/rsu-client/rsu-client/commit/b2553e5aeca9a0e6b271b5b17eee9a57c8d6ef11|rsu-client commit]] and [[https://github.com/rsu-client/rsu-client/issues/127|initial bug report]])) ((the previously used direct-link ''jagexappletviewer.jar'' can be found [[http://oldschool.runescape.com/downloads/jagexappletviewer.jar|here]]))
-  * :!: The copyright footer is **not** hidden with OpenJDK 12, 13, and presumably any JRE newer than 11 if ''jagexappletviewer.jar'' comes from ''OldSchool.msi'' ((last tested 2019/10/22))
-====== Install ======
-  * ''wmctrl'' is used to toggle between windowed and fullscreen states
-  * ''p7zip-plugins'' is needed to extract ''jagexappletviewer.jar'' from ''OldSchool.msi'' later ((only ''7z'' can do this properly and **not** ''7za'', ''cabextract'', nor ''unar'')) ((this is expected to already be installed from the Fedora prerequisite))
-  * :!: As of 2023/03/17, Java 19 didn't work on Fedora 37, but 11 is still fine
-  sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk wmctrl && sync
-==== Set Default Java ====

-  sudo update-alternatives --config 'java'

-=== Windows ===
-  * Extracts ''jagexappletviewer.jar'' from ''OldSchool.msi'' and requires ''7z''
