@Lelani Carver It's strange to see what kinds of hardware have problems with Second Life and OpenSim, especially the Firestorm viewer.

I'm mostly on six-year-old upper-mid-range hardware. Ryzen 5 3600X, Radeon RX 590, both on a modest MSI B450 mainboard. This is far from high-end gaming hardware. OS is Debian, graphics driver is open-source and issued by Debian. I don't even have any configuration UI for my graphics hardware. Ask gamers, and they'll tell you I shouldn't be able to do anything with this setup.

And yet, Firestorm 7 gives me much higher frame rates with shadows on and a 256m viewing distance than Firestorm 6 gave me with shadows off and a 128m viewing distance. Even with crazy complex avatars around, I think I never go below 30fps. And I've got a 60fps cap myself.

You’re lucky to have hit the sweet spot. My previous computer (which works fine) had an MSI motherboard that couldn’t take the latest FS release, and limped along on the previous PBR release. It would do well enough on an older release that’s non-PBR.

I inspected textures at a sale today that blew me away with subtle interplay of light and shadow. Made me want to make stuff again, but that has to wait until all my files are transferred over from old to new.
