From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The problem is you're gonna have to keep updating it with every Minecraft update.

Yeah, once every year lol :D

Well sorta since now they do more frequent drops instead of updates but it’s all up to your preference

[–] fajre@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Instead of releasing everything at once, they release it in parts.

Surely you could automate that

[–] Mambert@beehaw.org 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seems a little complicated. The normal splash screens in Minecraft don't have the logo, so you couldn't just download the file used from the game. It either requires a screenshot per new version, or some level of image manipulation.

That grub screen from the OP has a custom title, you could use python to project the skybox textures from the latest release, crop it to the screen size, and overlay the needed graphics

Could be automated.
