Briefly skimmed the page but I saw a .Jar version. Is that a Java build to run in a JVM or for something else entirely?
The launcher is written in Java so that's the universal binary unlike the other platform specific ones. Just like the (very) old original Minecraft launcher.
Ah. That works out great then. Im on steam deck and get the feeling Proton wouldn’t play nice with a Minecraft launcher
There's also an .exe you could use if you're on windows
