After listening to this comment in my earlier post, I finally installed Linux in my new machine. I have almost set up everything for my use case save for support for playing Minecraft.

While many Linux switchers are keen to having maximum support and optimization for games, I don't look forward to the same. I plan to having Minecraft as my one and only game in this machine and want to have as minimal dependencies set up for playing it as possible.

I intend to use the fabric version of MC with mod support on my machine with Iris Xe GPU. I am also comfortable with using a different launcher aside from the default one if it is safe and better to do so.

Could someone give me guidance on how I go around installing Minecraft according to my needs?

Mine links to "PollyMC" not "PolyMC". Completely different software but thanks for the heads up!

Oh. That’s one confusing naming scheme

Puzzling choice to have a one letter difference to an also minecraft related project, more so given the stuff with the other dev being a poop.
