I am following this guide

But I can’t get java working, I downloaded everything but I get the messesge “java checker library could not be found, please check your installation” normal prism launcher has no problem with the java I downloaded. I googled it and someone said they fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling prism, but I can’t even figure out how to uninstall prism. All of this is so confusing. I’ve been trying for a couple days now and nothing’s worked. Please help.

Edit: okay I finally figured it out, you have to move the unzipped prism launcher folder to desktop, then execute the prism launcher

    Try PollyMC and install it flatpak version, it’s super simple and it comes with Java.

    I don’t have a steamdeck to try this onto, but check this out, it seems very straightforward:

    open a terminal, and then paste this:

    git clone https://github.com/BlackCorsair/install-jdk-on-steam-deck.git
bash ./install-jdk-on-steam-deck/scripts/install-jdk.sh

    this will download from github the repository containing the install-jdk.sh script, and then execute it.

    close the terminal and open it back in order to source all needed files, and check the correct installation by running

    java -version

    if everything goes flawless, you should have java installed in ~/.local/jdk/
