> "cannot install from unsigned repo"
This error message comes from the PackageKit library that Discover uses, which in turn comes from the distro's own policies and how they implement their PackageKit plugin. Looks like Ubuntu (the base for Neon) doesn't want you to install unsigned packages, sorry. I imagine if you ask them why, they would say it's for security reasons: you're downloading random stuff from the internet that they haven't vetted and verified.

You can always install the package anyway using the command-line apt utility (`apt install path/to/file`) or get Minecraft from either the official repo or Flatpak or Snap.
