Can you install Minecraft on Linux?

I have Kubuntu 04/20 and I think I need to download a Java file as well.

How do I do this (step by step) and from which sites do I have to download Java etc?

Can you even use Minecraft on Ubuntu Linux?

This is a bit pointless, since Minecraft is already owned by Microsoft - you can play Minecraft on Windows right away.

If you don't know that, you're in the wrong place when it comes to Linux, prefer to use windows?!

Have a hacked Windows and now have to use Linux

Here are the downloads: https://www.minecraft.net/...ternative/

Download the .deb package and you should be able to open it easily. This will start the graphical package management (Discover at KDE) to install it.

Or just reinstall Windows?

I don't need a Java file or something like that in front of itẞ

We had already tried 4 times. The last solution was Linux, new pc or BIOS update

And where is the difference to inexperienced Windows users? At some point you have to learn it with every system.

Then I don't understand how to manage to infect your PC with viruses 4 times?

What if he doesn't have Windows? 😂

There are already free or very cheap

Debian systems (Ubuntu is based on Debian) have a package manager, which usually takes care of the dependencies. Since you are using the current Ubuntu LTS, this should work without any problems.

Check out the How Chromebook Works page.

It's about Linux and not just Chromebooks, you can simply enter Minecraft in the search bar, there are commands for Bedrock and Java.

This is completely irrelevant, Minecraft Java is no different between Linux and Windows. In fact, it is exactly the same program that runs on both systems.

I have Linux myself (Linux Mint 20.1) and I've also installed Minecraft. Just download the .deb file, open it and then go to Install Package. Tada Minecraft Launcher installed. If you have any questions, just write a comment.

It runs better on Windows.

No, there's no such thing for free. Costs 100-200 euro legally. Illegal is not much fun as MS blocks it a few weeks later.

Apart from that, the vendor lock-in is very expensive… And I don't even want to start with ransomware.

Linux is just the kernel. Debian-based systems are very different from Chrome OS, so the installation process is also very different.

Absolutely right.

Not really, the graphics drivers are a bit better on Windows and, in contrast, most Linux systems use a lot less system resources than Windows. In fact, it does happen that the same games perform better on Linux.

In addition, it is sometimes not possible to set up Windows at all because it is simply not compatible.

Maybe he doesn't want to use Windows either? In any case, it is not free because you pay with your data.

My God don't be annoying, enough people have already commented…

Then let it stay. It would be better for everyone involved anyway, you don't seem to have anything valuable to contribute.

Thanks

Thanks

You even less

At least I know Windows isn't free. And you obviously didn't answer the questioner's answer either.

Minecraft still runs on Java and Java is known to be pretty platform independent…

Windows 10 has always been free… (Free in the sense of money)

Since Win10 there's no longer a real penalty for not activating Windows.

And if you really want to buy a key for it, you don't have to pay 100+ euro for it, these are also legally much cheaper

Just because you don't have to pay with money doesn't mean it is free. The cost is your data and your privacy.

As I wrote in the comment, I'm only referring to money.

I'm also a Linux user because of the data that Windows collects

I'm glad that I got out of this Linux fanboy discussion, the best thing to do is to send each other console commands back and forth as love messages ^^

If Windows didn't greet me with a BSOD every time I started and didn't collect so much data, I would probably still be using Windows now.

I only recently switched to Linux because the problems with Windows kept increasing. So far I've only missed Windows in one place (VST plugins), but I can live with that.

Personally, I wouldn't call myself a fanboy
