# Systems compatibility
\nPlutonium supports Linux,Windows,MacOS and FreeBSD.
\nAll editions are being tested on the following operating systems before officially releasing them:<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f The rolling release edition is only tested under Arch Linux against critical bugs<\/p>\n
\u2139\ufe0f All releases are being tested on the latest versions of the listed operating systems and on real hardware (We are not using VMs for testing)<\/p>\n
\u2139\ufe0f Apart from manually testing each edition on all listed operating systems, we also run an automated stress-testing script on each platform to ensure stability. This process includes repeatedly generating worlds with different seeds and terrain layouts, mass-deleting maps, loading each generated world under different rendering settings, and checking for performance regressions or log errors.<\/p>\n

# \ud83d\udce6Explaining the flavours
\n## Stable
\nChoose Plutonium \u2013 Stable for a reliable, well-tested, and highly compatible experience.
\nThis edition prioritizes stability, performance, and broad mod compatibility, making it ideal for long-term gameplay and general use.<\/p>\n
Performance may vary depending on your hardware and operating system.<\/p>\n
## Rolling Release\/Unstable
\nChoose Plutonium \u2013 Rolling Release (Unstable) if you want early access to the latest features, updates, and optimization improvements before they are included in the Stable edition.<\/p>\n
This edition is tested primarily for critical issues (such as crashes) but may contain bugs or instability.
\nIt is recommended for testing, benchmarking, and advanced users, rather than long-term worlds.<\/p>\n
## Vulkan Edition
\nChoose Plutonium \u2013 Vulkan Edition for maximum performance and reduced CPU overhead through the use of a Vulkan-based rendering pipeline.<\/p>\n
This edition may deliver significantly improved performance on supported hardware, but sacrifices compatibility with many mods, as Vulkan currently has more limited ecosystem support compared to the standard Sodium-based renderer.<\/p>\n
Due to its minimal and focused mod stack, this edition is often the most stable in terms of internal consistency.<\/p>\n
## 1.12.2-LTS
\nChoose Plutonium \u2013 1.12.2 LTS (Long-Term Support) for an optimized and modernized experience on Minecraft 1.12.2.<\/p>\n
This edition includes:<\/p>\n
– performance improvements and bug fixes tailored for 1.12.2
\n– support for modern Java versions via Cleanroom
\n– improved compatibility with newer hardware and systems<\/p>\n
Stability and performance may vary depending on your hardware and operating system.<\/p>\n
