With all the bs going on with minecraft launchers, can we appreciate the AT Launcher for a moment?
FOSS

PolyMC compromised apparently according to essential mod devs

ATLauncher breaks when putting mouse over the Window
Workaround is in https://github.com/ATLauncher/ATLauncher/issues/498 if you're interested. Java has some weird graphical quirks with some system hardware/software configurations where hardware acceleration needs to be turned off for the launcher.

A brand new "Factorio for Minecraft" modpack! After 300 hours and 3500 lines of scripts, I present to you: Feed the Factory! It takes the best mechanics of Factorio and balances them around Minecraft
(Linux Too) Just downloaded the pack with ATLauncher, no issues.

I made a simple Minecraft launcher for Linux
I've been using AT Launcher lately and it's great.

I'm not sure if anyone else uses the Technic launcher (Minecraft) but I'm having trouble logging in with a Microsoft account
I am not sure how to solve that problem with Technic Launcher. Though I know ATLauncher can login with Microsoft just fine and supports all of the Technic Packs.

Microsoft account for Minecraft - Any gotchas?
Yes it still works and many launchers support it such as ATLauncher
- How does it launch a new instance on the official launcher?

XZ backdoor story – Initial analysis
> Nobody ever even audits the binary contents of flatpaks on flathub (were they actually built from the source? the author attests so!).
IME/IIRC There aren't (or shouldn't be) any binary contents on Flathub that are submitted by the author, at least for projects with source available? You're supposed to submit a short, plain-text recipe instead, which then gets automatically built from source outside the control of the author.
> The Flathub service then uses the manifest from your repository to continuously build and distribute your application on every commit.
https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/#ho...
Usually the recipes should just list the appropriate URLs to get the source code, or, for proprietary applications, the official .DEBs. Kinda like AUR, but JSON/YAML. Easy to audit if you want:

- FOSS software is probably less likely to abuse this, but it just depends how ruthless the publisher is, a lot of people desire to be successful and it's human nature to look for advantages to put yourself above others in competitive environments.

Flathub – The Linux App Store
I also don't believe third parties maintainers packaging software on flathub is a big issue but I'm also not familiar with how other distro repos trust their maintainers. Hopefully more developers maintain their flatpak themselves (or someone they trust) and get their apps verified. If most apps are verified, warning users of unverified apps might be a good idea.
There's ongoing discussion about splitting open source and proprietary apps in to seperate repos [1]. Additionally having seperate repos for verified and unverified apps might make it more obvious where an app comes from in the cli.
But I don't know how seamlessly an app could transition between being in the third party repo and being in the official repo. Having the user quietly stop receiving updates seems like a bad idea, but automatically migrating might not be desirable either.
I also think flatpaks cli interface needs some work. It is functional but far from distro package managers.
Being verified is especially important for critical apps. Recently someone added malicious versions of apps to the snap store [3]. This lead to people getting their cryptocurrency stolen.

The first tip to give to any new Linux user should be "do NOT search for, download, and install software on the Web!"
i assume you dont know how flathub works , theirs little or no QC , done flathub is just get told theirs an update for the package , if yo go look at the github repo pes https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/4164 for example , only updates the link to the girt repo , theirs 0 code checked

Who is behind flathub and rpmfusion really?
It all should be written in pages for contributors, read the docs for fusion, and the docs for flathub.

Flathub just hit 1 billion total downloads
These are criticisms of the flatpak ecosystem as it stands today. Currently, the Firefox ESR package on flathub seems to be caught in limbo or maybe dead. Mozilla publishes both a snap and a flatpak of Firefox latest, but only a snap of the ESR version. This raises the question of why. Have Mozilla chosen to invest more in snaps than in flatpaks? If so, what's their reasoning? (More users on snaps, making it similar to why they put more investment into Windows than Linux? Something else?) If they haven't invested more into snaps than flatpaks, is this a sign that it's harder to maintain flatpaks (or at least on flathub) than snaps? If that's true, I would hope that flatpak/flathub would be soliciting feedback from Mozilla about it.
