FYI Prism Launcher is a Minecraft launcher ( !prismlauncher@lemmy.world )
*Data is based on 1908 publicly shared crash logs
It is most commonly installed with Flatpak.
The most common graphics kernel driver is amdgpu
Is there a variant that allows users not to have to pay Microsoft for minecraft?
No cause that would literally be piracy.
If you don't want to pay Microsoft then you don't play Minecraft.
Go play a different block game like vintage story.
Even if you do pirate Minecraft trying to use mods or do anything with it at this point is so beyond painful that it's not even worth it. Microsoft has made it a mess.
Bruh.
PolyMC allowed that without a hassle.
Playing pirate MC with mods and play multiplayer in pirate servers is not a hassle at all too.
It's the same development team, but if Prism officially endorsed that they'd be annihilated by the trillion dollar company lawyers, mate.

Or maybe it crashes more on Linux (or people on Linux are more inclined to share crash logs)
or people on Linux are more inclined to share crash logs
That's probably true
I know many people prefer Minecraft Java Edition, but I prefer Bedrock. Java, as a language, is so bloated and terrible that I can't get behind it.
