Our 7 year old wants to play Minecraft on a computer now because the Java edition has different features and blah, blah, blah I wasn't listening because he talks about Minecraft a lot and I'm tired 😝

So he asked me for a Windows laptop 😱

Then he got on my Linux desktop, clearly disappointed with what he found, and tried to launch Windows.

I guess it's time to have The Talk 🐧 #linux

@pleia2 I guess there's a way to run the latest Minecraft on Linux(?)

They changed from OpenGL to Vulkan and that's good for Linux usage.

I read there's a Minecraft launcher(?)

I can offer some help, even if I have never used it, just in case you want to rubber duck or troubleshoot something.

Java edition Minecraft has always worked perfectly well on Linux. There are a number of popular launchers.
