I am surprised that amd is at the top, but the nvidea arbitrary restrictions and tax are quite high.

Let’s keep passing those Linux numbers up!

Side note: why is there a presumably third party “Minecraft launcher”, doesn’t the app just open? What does this do?

    minecraft has a vanilla launcher too, because the game started out as a java applet so you need a shitton of flags to actually get the game to run normally. also there's no way to login to an account in the actual game.

    anyway, prism is a mod-loading launcher. it integrates with curseforge and modrinth to allow you to install, build and distribute mods and modpacks.
