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.

Building a Fabric-based pack on Linux
Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I think my mod manager ferium. It is a CLI though, but you are on Linux after all so I assume you should be fine with it. Ferium will add all the required dependencies of a mod, it will prompt you for optional dependencies, and you can also add any other mods and they will all be stored in one nice file. You can then upgrade to the latest versions at any time.

error while opening fabric
curseforge is bloat, use Ferium
-
tried to play better minecraft modpack but this error showed uo (crash log in the comments)
(I recommend Ferium)
-
Fabric console commands not readable
dont use repeat mods, remove the older teralith, also update all of your mods, I recomend ferium
-
Mojang are redeeming themselves with this update
not to sound annoying, but i reccomend https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium it works with any launcher and is like really easy

For the people checking my profile because of the enchantment glint pack, here's a download (and eventually planet minecraft link)
On the topic of updating mods, are you tired of performing that repetitive task? If you’re not already using it, I can recommend ferium. It’s a command line mod management utility that keeps your mods up to date with a command. It is also open source. https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium

Switch off of PolyMC ASAP
ferium isn't a launcher, it's a command line mod manager/updater, but it does support curse and handling modpacks, just point it to an instance's mods folder https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium/
