I'm glad I literally JUST bought a copy of Minecraft so I didn't have to deal with this mess.
But unfortunately I have to deal with Microsoft shenanigans now. And I can't even play the worse version on Linux.
I forget what it's called, but there is a 3rd party application that allows you to play the mobile version on Linux. I only use it to play with my cousin since she can only play on Xbox, and it works pretty well.
So it's something that works like BlueStacks?
Similar idea, but it does some funky translation layer magic to get pretty much native performance. The original project is called mcpelauncher-linux, iirc it's been abandoned and forked at least once since then but I haven't kept up with it.
Got it.
