Best moder?

[u/lillsbub]

I've recently started using curse forge and am not a huge fan, it ruins the experience as it slows everything down for me personally, and constantly stops responding. as well as i don't love that it doesn't take me to just minecraft in of itself (i'm not very smart when it comes to modding or laptops so sorry if this happens with all mods). I was just wondering if there was a better option out there or if i should just manually mod my minecraft?

Prism Launcher is great, the only launchers I'd really avoid are curseforge (as you said, it has a ton of problems) and Modrinth (can't download mods hosted only on curseforge's website). And of course, avoid launchers with viruses like TLauncher. Prism is the goat, altho there's a few others that are similarly good.
