Native Linux launcher or Jagex accounts can fuck off.
Their absolutist stance on no Linux launcher even in light of the new steamstats vs macos just seem obstinate

Pretty much, there's no point of risking switching to a Jagex Account right now for FOMO if the Jagex Launcher stops working with WINE etc.
If it works for Mac, it should be fairly easily cross-platformed. Also speaking as someone who runs OpenBSD on their lappy to play RuneLite sometimes, I guess I'm doubly fucked too :P
I agree I would LOVE a native launcher. That being said I haven't had any issues with running it with the lutris script.
Doesn't everyone just use runelite anyway?
You have to launch Runelight from the Jagex Launcher for Jagex accounts.
In theory someone could create a client that implemented their new authentication protocol... But I'm not feeling that motivated.
