Severe lag on Linux systems due to particle spam

[Vetpetmon]

When creating a biome-utilized particle via NoRenderParticle on Forge 1.20.1, Linux clients see far more particles created than Windows clients. Windows clients see the intended amount of particles, while on Linux, clients see 2-4 times the particles that should be created. Combined with unoptimized rendering, AAA Particles can grind FPS to a halt.

Isolated to AAAP: Vanilla particle types not using AAA Particles spawn at the same frequency between Windows and non-Windows clients.

Would also like to mention that AAA Particles on Linux has less optimized rendering, and I've tried making workarounds.

OS: Arch Linux, kernel ver 6.12.64
GPU: Radeon 780M integrated, provided by Ryzen 9 8945 HS (5.26 GHz)
DE: XFCE 4.20 (X11)
JDK: Java 21

Workaround for now:

    @OnlyIn(Dist.CLIENT)
    public static class Provider implements ParticleProvider<SimpleParticleType> {
        public Provider() {
        }

        public Particle createParticle(@NotNull SimpleParticleType p_106969_, @NotNull ClientLevel level, double x, double y, double z, double dx, double dy, double dz) {
            if (Realmfall.PROXY.isUnix() && level.random.nextFloat() > 0.1F) return null; // severely reduce particles on UNIX systems due to performance issues
            return GreenRain.createParticleWrapper(
                    GreenRain.Type.CLOUDTYPE, level,
                    x, y, z,
                    dx, dy, dz,
                    1);
        }
    }

Simply write a proxy function to check OS string using !SystemUtils.IS_OS_WINDOWS (should also apply necessary workaround for Mac OS as well) and then have it return null for 90% of all particle creation calls.

Sadly I don't have any Linux client devices so I can't test or debug :(
The Linux and MacOS native libraries are contributed by others

The libraries may be out of date, I will try to update them on my end. I've looked into the poor performance further and found that Effekseer on UNIX relies on OpenGL, which is inefficient compared to Vulkan graphics.

Similar to: effekseer/Effekseer#963 , but AAAParticles has this effect spam issue.

Still investigating why AAAParticles spams particles; I found a brief moment where particles were created far off into the distance (0,0 ?) that has only happened so far when testing on Linux.
