As I had suspected, a lot of issues came from the fact that I was pushing the poor Pi too hard. As it turns out pushing a 1.4 gigahertz Pi to run at a full 2 gigahertz isn't the best idea.
I still overclocked it, but to a more reasonable 1.6 gigahertz, and that seems much better. seems a little faster to me as well. Or maybe I'm looking through the rose-tinted glasses of not crashing every two seconds.
I did manage to get Minecraft running on this thing as well! I initially tried to run 1.19, but I didn't have a new enough version of Java installed. I then tried Alpha 1.1.2_01, but there's some weird conflict somewhere, not sure what it means. I'll fix both of these later hopefully, but for now, Minecraft 1.0 works alright.
A little intensive of the machine as expected, but entirely playable as long as you turn down all graphical settings, set render distance to "Short" or "Tiny". Maybe with some optimization mods it'll work even better.
All around, now that I have a more stable system set up, it's actually not terrible to use. Still slow in a lot of ways though, Youtube is still a bit of an issue, but it's survivable.

Nice thing is that this thing is pretty "mobile" as well, assuming you can get a display, keyboard, and mouse. Hell if you find a touchscreen display it can become a smartphone lol
Yeah, that's always an idea I've had with this thing. Ever since I got my first Pi I've dreamed of making a little portable device out of it lol. Maybe this time I'll actually give it a shot
