I am used to playing Minecraft via the Prism Launcher (because I am on Linux obv). But I recently had "the pleasure" to experience the default Windows 11 Minecraft Launcher. And.. it's horrible. They really want you to buy these texture packs, rent servers, and buy other games. Everything screams for attention. A real master class on how not to do UI/UX.

An excellent example of:
On Windows they want to control you. On Linux you are in control.

It's so weird that Linux users have the better Minecraft experience.
