FYI Prism Launcher is a Minecraft launcher ( !prismlauncher@lemmy.world )
*Data is based on 1908 publicly shared crash logs because no telemetry is collected
It is most commonly installed with Flatpak.
The most common graphics kernel driver is amdgpu
It's the best Minecraft launcher right now so it doesn't surprise me that much. Anyone playing Minecraft on Linux (Windows too) should use it
I just swapped to it last week, from curseforge. omg it's so much better
next swap is to Linux, but I'm really taking my time with that, because I am lazy
Do you play any kernel level anti cheat games or absolutely must have desktop Office? If not, just pull the trigger. It's so worth it.
no, on my personal computer, it's purely laziness that has kept me from switching this past year. I don't do much on my own pc lately beyond game, and not much variety lately. I just haven't gotten around to cleaning up all my data and shit, which in my mind is step number one to sorting out my computers and network setup going forward. I have a bunch of shit to do and just want to tackle it when I have time to do it all, not currently in a 'tech' phase of hobbies lol. but soon enough, it is winter after all, with less time outside.
if you're going for a gaming distro, do yourself a favor and go with bazzite!
it's kind of the unofficial SteamOS for desktop and has a general philosophy of "it just works", comes preloaded with basically all relevant gaming communities!
prism is in the app store, bazaar, and literally just a click to install ;)
so bazzite 'full' or whatever doesn't work on my old af laptop, so I went with xubuntu. seems to be working fine. that was easy
the problem now is getting my designated server PC running the server, and I seem to be having difficulties getting that going on Debian, as none of the guides I've seen so far actually explain what is happening or are for a different setup. mostly it's just a lack of knowledge thing on my part, but I have a few hours to give it tomorrow to try and sort it out
