and before you recommend hardware upgrades I am running it on a lap top and I really can't pay to upgrade. and the hardware is decent for most things but I am using a lot of mods.
UPDATE: I think I have made my decision, I will run an experiment. I will use Wubi and set up a Ubuntu system set for dual boot. and then I will run the same map at the same settings on both systems and just see what the FPS is for the same map doing the same thing(I will probably just leave it sitting for 10 min. and see what the FPS is). If windows works best than I can just uninstall the Ubuntu system and nothing changes if the Ubuntu system works best than I will just have a small Ubuntu system just for Minecraft. And if you wonder how I plan on doing the install and map transfer I already sync my Minecraft files between my two computers using cloud storage. When I am done I will post the results from my experiment and my full specs here.

I typically find almost any flavor of Linux to run faster at most things than Windows. Normal games will run better on Windows, though.
You have to update LWJGL and preferably install Optifine for the best experience.
So I should go ahead and use Wubi? and I haven't heard of LWJGL before but I am already using Optifine. and do you think a lighter version of Linux like Mint would work better?
"in the event of a root uprising i would support the robots, does that make me a bad person?"
I would go ahead with Ubuntu just because of Wubi { because it's so easy to setup and it's pretty much failsafe }.
Here's a tutorial on how to update it. On Linux, sometimes keys get "stuck" down.
Switching to Linux will not reduce lag.
If you have Intel graphics or certain GPUs, in fact, your performance will get worse.
well part of the issue is that my OS isn't a clean version I have been using it for quite a while. so I was thinking a clean install of linux would be better than a well used version of windows.
"in the event of a root uprising i would support the robots, does that make me a bad person?"
Of course a fresh install would perform better, but it's a lot of work to go through for something so simple, why not just take a few minutes and clean your windows install?
windows key + R -> msconfig -> disable all unnecessary startup programs and non-microsoft services (check the box that says "hide microsoft services"), hit OK and don't restart now.
Uninstall any programs you don't use.
Run a full virus scan with MBAM. If it detects anything, remove and restart, scan again, if it doesn't detect anything go to the next step, if it does, remove and restart and rescan again. It's best if you do anything past the first restart in safe mode if it detects something.
Once that is done download CCleaner and clean your registry, keep scanning and fixing issues until there are no more.
Once that is finished, restart once more and it should be noticeably better.
Ok, it sounds easier to just use wubi and have two installs one windows and one linux.

the only thing I get lag on is minecraft. the issue is a lot of the programs I have installed are programs that I use for classes and I am not currently using them for the classes I am in but I might in some of my later classes so it isn't neglect it's just that the computer is 2 years old and unlike my desktop I can't really do many upgrades on it (especially with my limited budget), and before you ask why I don't use my desktop is that my parents wont let me take it to college.
and I do take care of my laptop, I run the Windows defender once a week and run the windows updater about twice a month.
"in the event of a root uprising i would support the robots, does that make me a bad person?"
However, it runs it a LOT better under windows 7. (It is an Intel GMA, though, which means Linux OpenGL uses MESA, if I recall).
I cant rember off the top of my head and right now I don't have it with me, I think it runs a 2.something DC GHz processor, 4 Gb Ram, and 64-bit OS, It was marked as a "Desktop Replacement" when I bought it and it runs everything else quite nicely (but I don't usually game on it beside MC because it is the one I take to Collage and I don't want too many distractions I leave MC as a guilty pleasure) I might want to double check Java and the Drivers. and as I said the hardware is about 2 years old and I didn't get the top of the line then (as I am a collage student).
ya sorry I think i miss remembered maybe it was MSE. my memory sucks (cant remember a thing).
"in the event of a root uprising i would support the robots, does that make me a bad person?"
The RAM he "saves" will not affect performance. At all.
There will be no difference. I have tested this, using multiple distros and hardware configurations.
As others have stated in these forums, unused RAM is wasted RAM.
OpenGL is a user-mode library. It is not integrated, and in fact cannot be, into the kernel. All existing openGL Implementations live entirely in userspace. Actually, all Linux graphics drivers live there, too. DRI/DRM is just a thin layer for accessing basic graphics hardware capabilities through a unified kernel interface. So far though all higher-level functions of current graphic drivers are in userspace- this includes OpenGL. Is it possible to move OpenGL into the kernel. Given enough time resources and effort, yes. But nobody would do this since the kernel is the wrong place to implement these things.
