Yes, we are planning a qml rewrite, this will likely take a while to fully release, it's not next version since it would basically be an entire rewrite if I understand our plans correctly. This means that we would have significant changes in the ui and hopefully for the better, I agree the current is subpar.

I'll be working on rewriting the website and documentation framework before 10.0 then I'll start some mockups for our new qml design.

There's a couple other neat things that have been discussed that may be possible with a qml rewrite (no plans yet) such as compiling to mobile. Main benefits are responsiveness and consistency that can be achieved as well as cleaning up many things from the aging codebase since it would likely be a full rewrite.

Bit of a leftover from MultiMC, but functionally has always been far far ahead of other mod managers, including Mojang's terrible attempts. Unfortunately I quit MC for quite a while before all the drama with the developer so I never really had much use for Prism Launcher.

What method did you use for install? Ubuntu shows a snap version in their store, its not official and maintained by Ubuntu not us. We have found it has a fair few issues that aren't present in other packages.

I would reccomend downloading from flathub which you would need to setup manually on Ubuntu. Otherwise our appimage on our website https://prismlauncher.org

We do also have a third party build that is more stable then the snap for Ubuntu on makedeb.

How does it fail exactly? As I recall, flatpak aren’t distro dependent.

have you tried the flatpak? it should include any dependencys you need. im on arch and it works great from the aur, but i know that does not really help you.
