MultiMC Linux support for Microsoft logins is... weird, which has been my reason for putting off the migration.
The MultiMC dev has since been hired as the official Minecraft launcher dev, and I guess that means they don't want to just be publishing their Microsoft SDK key for the Minecraft logins. But it means they've been on a bit of a war on linux distros packagng MultiMC or Linux users using anything other than his published binaries.
I've recently switched to GDLauncher, so will have to see how their MS account support story is, though it's got more of a "modern"/flat/big pictures UI feel to it and is clunkier to use
- ghosty141 5y agoThe thing with multimc is the dev doesnt wanna support platforms that he doesnt or cant use. You are free to fork it and go ahead under a different name. Tbh I can understand it, he is the only main contributor behind the project, I wouldnt act differently.
- alexhaber 5y agoNo, he doesn't really even want OTHER people to support those platforms. A fork was made specifically because the original developer was quite hostile, which he tried to prevent, despite the license for the project. https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/wiki/FAQ https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/wiki/FAQ
