So, I don't know how to explain this in words, so I will just put screenshots.
Tried to look for somewhere where this has been reported and solved, but honestly idk the right search terms.
Some info:
I first had Windows 10 as my laptop default OS (that it came with), but I had only 4gb of ram so I installed Linux (Pop_OS!). I eventually upgraded my ram 2 days ago, and decided to download Windows 10 back, that was yesterday. I installed GeForce app and updated my GPU, installed Minecraft. I didn't play enough to see the glitch I presume, but then I remembered that I might not have Java installed, so I quit the game and installed Java SE 14. This can be the reason, but I'm not really sure. After downloading some resource packs, I decided to play it a bit more, that's when I realised the glitch, and since then it seemed to be getting worse each launch, but where it appears is random each session.
P.S. This never happened for the first 2 (or more) years after I first bought it (new), and I am fairly positive my windows installation is not corrupt and the resource packs are not the cause of this
I think I have fixed it, at least for now. it seems to be a render/chunk loading related issue, from the pattern it was giving occasionally.
It seems optifine was causing the problem at first, so I played on vanilla and it worked. I then remembered something about VBOs improving performance and being related to object rendering or something, so I turned it on while on optifine and that completely fixed it. Not sure why this is, but I will assume this has to do with my hardware, software wouldn't make sense.
Also, resource packs weren't the problem, and I did not download Java 8, and stayed with Java 14 because I know Minecraft downloads its own Java runtime, which is java 8.
Does anyone know why VBOs matter for my laptop? this wasn't the case with the PC.
And it seems to be running smoother than it was before, on a stable 58-60 fps (VSync, almost max settings) without any struggle (though micro-stutters are still a thing, but it doesn't bother me as it is less often than it was), better than the desktop even! which is probably because I have more RAM and the desktop uses an older AMD card.

I hope this is not considerate necromancing, haven't had time to check and reply the past few days.

It's only been a couple of days and it's your post, so don't worry about that.

This seems to have done it!
How could I have forgotten about this?
And it seems to be running smoother than it was before, on a stable 58-60 fps (VSync, almost max settings) without any struggle (though micro-stutters are still a thing, but it doesn't bother me as it is less often than it was), better than the desktop even! which is probably because I have more RAM and the desktop uses an older AMD card.
But yeah, this completely fixed! Thanks a lot!
