I'm mainly using this machine for a few lxd containers and playing Minecraft. Xubuntu 18.04 LTS. I am getting light stuttering and can't figure why. Minecraft seems to be the only place stuttering occurs. I can't tell if this is a Linux issue that can be fixed? Or just something I have to live with. The hardware should be more than powerful enough. On windows this machine ran World of Warcraft at 100fps maxed out graphics. Any ideas?

You may be asking too much of that video card. Try lowering the resolution down a notch and see how well it works.

It's a Minecraft issue that can potentially be fixed. Java is not a great platform for a responsive gaming experience, and there is more information out there than you could possibly need on how game ticks work, and options for garbage collection in Java. You could tweak your Java options around memory allocation, or use Spigot instead of the vanilla Minecraft jar file. Either of those would help with stuttering. OptiFine can also help.
