Unfortunately the tech-illiterate heads that control DOST would reject such proposal.

Philippines should be next. Unfortunately the lack of net neutrality allows our telcos to literally provide unlimited text-only Facebook access for free, like wtf…

As for the permission popups, they have already done that through XDG Desktop Portals. You might have noticed that, for example, apps with supposedly no filesystem access can still open files you selected via the file picker or opened via the file manager. Or that apps need you to explicitly allowlist them to access your location data. Those are apps that use the portals permission system. Unfortunately not all apps use portals yet.

I have seen mockups of GNOME adapting a similar banner style as what Flathub. We might have to wait for GNOME 47 though.

I vaguely remember some money calculating-related project guy who received a PR that heavily optimized and updated the project. Since he was very busy and no longer really wanted to maintain the project, rather than reviewing and merging the commit, he gave the contributor complete access to the repo for them to maintain the project at their own discretion. The project was unpopular back then—when he looked back a few years later, he was surprised to discover that the project had racked up several thousands of stars.

IMO Flatpak is the best of them all. I don’t want to bother with repo packages that have complete and unnecessary access to my system. Flatpak neatly installs an app and isolates it, and if I no longer want it I can just easily click “Uninstall” on my Settings app without it leaving a mess or any trace behind, unlike repo packages that manage to screw something as simple as uninstalling itself.

This is not nice.

You may have skipped some steps

Same for me, but IMO Bottles is better than Lutris.

You can literally paste your PolyMC files to Prism Launcher and it will work perfectly

Sure, they can try and push their Bedrock version… But nobody is playing on that piece of crap.

As somebody who plays Minecraft very often on my phone, I can say Bedrock Edition would’ve been a very good platform if they just didn’t aggressively push their Marketplace BS.

There were some talks to migrating all PolyMC Flatpak installations to Prism Launcher, which was achieved by marking PolyMC as outdated on Flathub’s repo and marking Prism Launcher as the newer version, which will result in Flatpak clients replacing PolyMC with Prism Launcher while moving data over. The only thing users would notice is that the icon and name on the apps list changed, since all worlds and instances would stay in place.

Unfortunately I think they didn’t continue with this decision.

Using this method to bypass the Microsoft account requirement on pure Prism Launcher is better than relying on a downstream project, IMO. Especially since PollyMC’s releases are lagging behind Prism Launcher (which is expected for downstream projects), and the latest release 7.2 was behind for an entire month.

The best solution would be to install Prism Launcher from Flathub. This method is better than relying on downstream projects like PollyMC which may have delayed updates and be abandoned anytime: To avoid having to sign in to Microsoft spyware to play, do the following, credits to this guide:

First, open Prism Launcher, then close it. This is to ensure that the account data has been initialized.

Second, run this command on the terminal:

echo '{"accounts": [{"entitlement": {"canPlayMinecraft": true,"ownsMinecraft": true},"type": "Offline"}],"formatVersion": 3}' > ~/.var/app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/data/PrismLauncher/accounts.json

Third, open Prism Launcher, press the account button on the top right, create an offline account, and set it as the default account by pressing the Set as Default button on the right side of the list. After this, delete the No Profile account by pressing its entry on the list and selecting Delete on the right side of the list.

Done! You can now play Minecraft without the Microsoft account BS.

Note that I do not support piracy, but I cannot tell you to buy Minecraft first before doing this because I don’t want to be a hypocrite. lmao i didn’t notice what community i’m on lol
