I'm using lunar client and its pretty decent but im kinda worried about data collection. It's probably not horrible but still, i want to be pretty sure that it doesn't collect any data, or atleast not a lot. I want something like lunar just more private and maybe foss as well? Also it needs to work on linux

thank guy

Prism Launcher is open source and Linux compatible, just make sure any mods you get through it don't collect any data.

ooo i'll take a look thanks

edit: i also use lunar to play with my friends, but i will be getting a mini pc with linux on it as a streaming box, so maybe i can host a server or something

edit 2: forgor that mojang added friends to java yay

edit 3: didn't know that multiplayer isn't available yet, fixed with a mod called "friendmod" (im scared of essential mod's privacy policy)

I am happy I found this a few month ago too and Prism Launcher is simply good. And installed as flatpak gives you some sandboxing too.
