I wonder if lepton will solve the Minecraft problem. Waydroid was broken by some recent drm changes which are unlikely to be reverted although mcplauncher still seems to work although it's been awhile since I tested on my SteamDeck.

    Minecraft problem? I've been playing Minecraft happily on cachyos with no compatibility layers for a few months now (it uses java)

    The comment is talking about bedrock. Linux user usually play the android version, as opposed to the windows one, because it actually works better.

    I've had no issues with java edition, on 1.21 or 1.7. on cachyos Pretty sure android would have less features too.

    Bedrock gives you cross platform with Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, basically anything that isn't a pc. So it is worth it depending on what you need.

    And how many modpacks does it have? I haven't really played vanilla in years.

    Again, the issue isn't mods. It's cross platform compatibility. Feature wise, yes, java wins, but that's completely irrelevant to what I said. Plus, some people probably just prefer bedrock over Java.

    Ok now I'm more confused because the initial post was saying "the Minecraft problem" like it doesn't work on Linux, but it works very well natively, is the problem that the other versions don't? Actually I think I might have bedrock lying around somewhere, I guess I can see what my laptop thinks... I suppose over the last 17 years I've just never really seen the point in downgrading or trying to play it on a console.
