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.

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.
