Possibly Flatpak, even though personally I enjoy AppImages the most (due to its simplicity) - as it seems the most widely accepted across distros and does not bear the usual Canonical controversy mark.I don't like how they handle libraries and dependencies. Certainly I'd be happier if all the effort would went into making a single working, universally recognized format before adding new ones. On the one hand it is awesome to hear about new ways of getting your software without hassle of hunting dependencies, configs etc and appreciate diversity in Linux.īut on the other hand - damn it, can't we agree on a single universal package format, not 3? It has this deb vs rpm stench all over it. Quoting: PJgot to admit I have mixed feelings when I read news like this. Naturally, you can download Minecraft direct from the official site as well, but for me personally I do prefer the experience of just hitting install and having it all done there and then.Īlso, it seems Mojang have already fixed the minor text distortion issue I reported to them recently-great! Article taken from. If you already have it installed, you can wait for it to update automatically or quickly do it yourself like so in terminal:
You can grab it from the Snapcraft store or if your distribution supports it, like Ubuntu, it can be found by just searching for "Minecraft" in the Software Centre. As of today, it was updated to give you the new and improved experience. Minecraft has been available as a Snap for a while, but it was using the now outdated and ugly old launcher, which wasn't a great user experience. If you don't have Snap package support, installing it is easy and it gives you easy access to quite a lot of games and applications across different distributions and all kept up to date for you.
To be clear, I'm talking about the Snap packaging format that comes built into Ubuntu, Solus and more. Minecraft's rather large 'Update Aquatic' content update came out recently and it came with their fancy new launcher, getting it on Linux and keeping it up to date is now a snap.
