From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Third party launchers are the LAST thing we need, and would provide no benefit that the game itself doesn't already provide.

Minecraft needs launchers because of the lack of built-in mod support and the fact that its closed source. Minetest is the opposite of these things.

I mean for the UI. I want to be able to make a libadwaita app that works like the current UI. It should create a space the engine can render in.

Oh. Im on KDE and it runs great there. I think you could probably port the game to use libadwaita as a fork if you wanted

You can use command line arguments for minetest to bypass the built in menu. You could then re-implement all menu features yourself.
