trying to install Tlauncher
I used to use GDLauncher, but I would not recommend installing a launcher that lets issues like this one go by for almost a year without being fixed: https://github.com/gorilla-devs/GDLauncher/issues/1288

Why wont the option to mod show up
Skip all that manual install crap - https://prismlauncher.org/wiki/ or https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000196904-creating-a-custom-profile or https://github.com/gorilla-devs/GDLauncher/wiki

How and where do I install mods and shaders for Minecraft?
Another way to make it easy, a bit less easy than the prior but a bit more customization - https://github.com/gorilla-devs/GDLauncher/wiki

GD launcher stuck on curseforge checking if the site connection is secured
The latest GDLauncher beta added an option to allow users to manually download problematic mods. You can get it here (click the Assets dropdown) or wait a few days for it to be released as a stable version.

How to download tlancher on pop os
I would have recommended GDLauncher until this happened to me last week: https://github.com/gorilla-devs/GDLauncher/issues/1288

Weird stuff after an install failure
Maybe give a different launcher a try, I use GDLauncher to run modpacks
-
Forge doesn't work. please help, i've been trying to fix for ages
maybe you could try GDlauncher it allows you to
-
Mod help
Personally i use GdLauncher since it's really simple to use, it also automatically installs open jdk for you, something that basically makes the game run better than normal java, and can still manually download mods that have third-party downloads disabled.

Important warning for users of the PolyMC mod launcher: Shut down *right now* and don't use it again unless you know exactly what you're doing!
Which other launchers could I use instead? – The shunted devs have established PlaceholderMC as a temporary official replacement. There's also ATLauncher, GDLauncher, and PolyMC itself was a fork of MultiMC.

PolyMC WAS NOT compromised
GD is too busy for my taste--I'm honestly looking at some command-like launchers like ferium (also from GorillaDevs) or portablemc (because 🐍 python 🐍), but I'm also giving it a day to see how quickly "PlaceholderMC"* gets off the ground.

PolyMC, Fabric, OreSpawn
If you're referring to a screenshot of the modrith announcement in discord, it's just wrong, you can just change the metadata server setting to 'https://meta.scrumplex.rocks/v1/' and not update it, the devs (other than the one who went rogue) created a fork, so you can use that once they publish new builds

OVE-20221017-0001: PolyMC appears to be compromised
The remaining devs have forked it into https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PlaceholderMC.
- Has anyone made a community fork yet?
- Is this true?
- Switch off of PolyMC ASAP

Important warning for users of the PolyMC mod launcher: Shut down *right now* and don't use it again unless you know exactly what you're doing!
Looks like PlaceholderMC is the replacement for now (it's the fork of PolyMC created by the non-bigoted developers who got kicked out).
-
PolyMC compromised apparently according to essential mod devs
https://github.com/PlaceholderMC/PlaceholderMC is probably the most direct replacement - it's where the sane PolyMC devs have gone.
- PolyMC (a third party Minecraft launcher) has gone a sketchy path - it's advisable to uninstall it if you have it installed.

PolyMC compromised by rogue developer having unabomber manifesto in steam bio
The owner whose account might be hacked or might just have decided to do this kicking out all the active devs from the github project at the same time is some important context to go with the issue.
The other maintainers have already started a fork.
