After listening to this comment in my earlier post, I finally installed Linux in my new machine. I have almost set up everything for my use case save for support for playing Minecraft.
While many Linux switchers are keen to having maximum support and optimization for games, I don’t look forward to the same. I plan to having Minecraft as my one and only game in this machine and want to have as minimal dependencies set up for playing it as possible.
I intend to use the fabric version of MC with mod support on my machine with Iris Xe GPU. I am also comfortable with using a different launcher aside from the default one if it is safe and better to do so.
Could someone give me guidance on how I go around installing Minecraft according to my needs?

I use https://prismlauncher.org/ and the FTB App.
Can’t you download FTB modpacks through Prism too?
You have to load it up in the FTB app then import it into Prism.
As other stated, if you bought the game, PrismLauncher is the best launcher out there!
Huh, I didn’t realize it was so commonly liked. We currently use MultiMC, which was the go-to launcher some years ago, but maybe I’ll give PrismLauncher a try.
Does it do anything about launching servers? I currently launch Minecraft w/ systemd on boot, and I’m thinking of moving it to my NAS instead of my desktop (that way it’s always on), so I’m interested in any way of better managing it since I need to keep the mods consistent between the server and our computers.
PollyMC if you want it free :)
You can just download the offical Minecraft launcher for Linux but do yourself a favor and grab Prismlauncher. Even on Windows it’s just overall better.
If I recall correctly Linux Mint has flatpak support out of the box so you should be able to download it from the flathub link on the offical Prismlauncher site.
