Hello everybody, I hope y'all doing well! I'm new to Ubuntu, and I have installed this Tlauncher Minecraft launcher. Upon installing the java version - (there is also a flatpak version) I read the readme file and it said to click on launcher.jar and change to execute it as a program (which I understand, as other java programs ask the same) but it also said in the read me to execute it as root (to prevent graphical glitches?). Anyhow, I executed once (without root permission) and then I uninstalled it and OpenJDK.
But now I'm scared. Maybe this TLauncher is a virus? I don't know..It is a famous alternative launcher and it does have a flatpak on flathub but still..the whole root permission thing was weird..What are the odds that it infected my machine? Should I wipe my drive and install again? My machine does look normal, but I'm a noon..How can I tell?
Anyway, thanks for your attention!
