I first installed Minecraft, then installed Forge 1.14.4-forge-28.1.111 using the installer. And when I run it, it shows a loading screen saying something about, "heap", and then it crashes three seconds later.
I searched "Linux" in the search bar, and all I found were threads about people discussing other issues not specicfically with Linux Mint and its interactions with Forge, and no clear answers.
Wait, I'm a programmer in the making. Let me see if I can figure it out. It looks like something's missing and it's throwing an error.
Here's an error log I got after deleting forge 1.14.4-forge-28.1.111, installed and played 1.14.4, and then re-installed using forge 1.14.4-forge-28.1.0
It kind of seems like forge is using the wrong directory, and I am almost certain it has something to do with Linux Mint having a different directory from what forge is used to on Windows.
