I just built a new PC for our family room, and I had planned on making it Linux only…until I found out my son wouldn’t be able to play the full version of Minecraft without a convoluted workaround.

Wait, what? I play a lot of Minecraft on linux. Java version works perfectly. (And I’ve never played bedrock, but apparently bedrock is buggy? And java is where the mod packs are)

I have only played Minecraft on Linux… What needs windows? I needed to open an Xbox account to get the multiplayer to work, but I was able to do that on my android phone.

huh?
that should be very easy.
there is even an official flatpack build.

just install flatpack (if your distro doesnt come with it preinstalled)
and then install minecraft, and sign into your microsoft account.
