Decent Linux Java launcher? (lemmy.world)

I've been playing on Linux using Sklauncher for a while now, but it's feeling more and more like a scam. Every time there's an update to the launcher, the old one is immediately disabled. You can only get the new one from their ad riddled site, often with inappropriate ads, and it 'can't' handle the traffic. The download buttons are linked to the ads, so ads can't be blocked either.

It feels like the launcher is being disabled in order to force traffic to their site, making people watch the ads for over an hour in some cases.

Because of this, I want to find another launcher that allows mods, preferably easily. Does anyone know of a decent one please?

Update: For anyone who comes across this thread in the future, I ended up going with Prism Launcher. A few of the options threw me at first, but it's turned out to be exactly what I was looking for :)
