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.

Anyone have success with this Script to install programs on the Steam Deck that are not flatpaks
I would personally enable the functionality provided by this script in different ways (Chromium from flatpak or--better--just use Firefox; minecraft-launcher is pants compared to PrismLauncher or a command-line launcher like portablemc) or not at all (I doubt having the latest mesa drivers is actually advantageous vs. the optimizations built into Valve's version of the kernel, but I could be wrong), but to each their own.

Minecraft Modpacks
The best launcher right now is Prism Launcher, a MultiMC fork with Curseforge integration that comes pre-bundled with an optimized version of Java when downloaded from flathub (read: the Discover store), but there are plenty of options including GDLauncher, portablemc if you want a command-line launcher, or, heck, the vanilla launcher.
