Yesterday I installed TLauncher on my Linux laptop. I have an official license, but MS pisses me off and I want to try the launcher. I remember today that something was wrong with this launcher. Am I fucked up? Should I reinstall Mint?

    Thanks for the alternative! I’ll check it. But my main concern is to know if my laptop is under malware risk now.

      Prism is open-source. There’s virtually no risk.

      Regarding if your laptop is under attack, just check your list of processes and see if you find any out of the ordinary processes running. Remove TLauncher before doing this experiment. AFAIK, you’re probably fine since malware on Linux is very very rare but better be safe than sorry.

        Nice option, then. Yesterday I uninstalled it and checked the processes, and it seems all ok, but I’ll let the laptop stay in quarantine a little bit more just in case. Thank you for the advice!
