I was so happy when I discovered Prism because I did not want to install multiple layers of garbage to get Curse modpacks working like I had to on Windows. I still have friends with Overwolf running in the background!

I'm not sure if I remember this right, but I think there was also a while where it was integrated into the Twitch desktop client

EDIT: Yeah, you needed the Twitch client (with Twitch account) to be able to download modpacks

If I installed it on a Linux machine and had mods, can someone on a console join and have the mods work?

Spouse plays on console, and it would make it more likely I'd like to play if I could add some kind of mods

Java edition (the one Prism and most other launchers run) and Bedrock edition (the one on consoles) are incompatible with each other unfortunately. Also Bedrock doesn't support modding afaik
