FYI Prism Launcher is a Minecraft launcher ( !prismlauncher@lemmy.world )

*Data is based on 1908 publicly shared crash logs because no telemetry is collected

It is most commonly installed with Flatpak.

The most common graphics kernel driver is amdgpu

What if it crashes way more often in Linux?

    Or what if it crashes way more often on Windows? Also, can you disable sharing of the crash logs? Are Windows users or Linux users more likely to share the logs? We don't have enough data, this graph could be skewed either way. Though it's probably mostly accurate.

    It's anecdotal , but I heard that Linux bug reports are actually a problem for some game developers. When 1% of your customer base submits 10-20% of your bug reports, middle managers get upset. Apparently several games have had Linux support dropped because of this.

    While Linux often has more bugs in games (and so more reports), Linux users have also been conditioned to report bugs better. It helps a lot in FOSS etc.

    You've basically summed up what I was trying to say better than I did. To Linux users, bug reports are a good thing. They help fix things. To middle management, bug reports are a bad thing, they hurt their bonuses.

    One group needs to change, and Linux users are impressively stubborn.

    Anecdotal of course, but I use it regularly and it has never crashed. I'm using EndeavourOS.

    This is about Minecraft crashing, not the launcher itself

    Oh, so the Minecraft crash logs show which launcher is used? I had no idea! Interesting.

    Kind of, the launcher inserts some information at the start of the log with general information such as hardware, mods used, and launcher version & source. I've written a parser that extracts that information.
