    This is what keeps me unfortunately from fully committing to switching. Linux is definitely expanding rapidly but there’s just certain things that don’t rock well enough or it’s an absolute ball ache to get it to work

      @deft @palordrolap

      for the time it needs for some people to fix without income the issue of microsoft which has a huge amount of income an informed customer can maybe use some alternatives to have fun:

      minecraft alternatives you can buy ( and are supported on linux )
      - Hytale
      - Vintage Story

      opensource
      - luanti ( formerly known as minetest )

      So what i am saying is -> Maybe it’s not linux but your decission and or argumentation which is the issue.

      Imho: most of the things you say “don’t rock well” are just an issue of you choosing products or product combinations which probably aren’t value you as a user on linux ;) The people who value you as a user on linux are different.

      I think Minecraft on Linux has been a bad choice for a while now -> My guess Microsoft would have killed the Java Version for Years if they could. They keep it alive because of Modding but not because of Linux. That oppinion is supported by the shown bug …

        It’s less Minecraft and more that I don’t have the time to burn trying to make stuff work. I’m probably like 4/10 when it comes to computers and actually dicking with them so it can be quite frustrating to sit there and tweak and tweak until things work.

        At the moment the most I play is Civ VI and Foundry for TTRPGs. Been planning on getting a new computer and maybe then I’ll either swap my old one to Linux or the new one. We’ll see. But for now, I just sorta follow what’s going on and the Linux development, save some posts I’ll come back to later and get opinions.
