Just tossing this out there, if your son hasn’t seen it yet, show him Portal. I showed it to my son when he was starting to get into computers and its still one of his favorites in college.
honestly, bedrock is just a cash grab game so i don’t even care about not having it in linux. and if i really wanna play with people who don’t have PCs, i can install one mod on the server and they can join and play perfectly
My son was convinced to use Linux by wobbly windows.
Although he does have a second SSD now with Windows to be able to play the big popular multiplayer game of the day with his friends. But they are back on Minecraft often enough.
I’m the only computer user in my house. My son is starting to show interest, but only because of Minecraft, which also runs on Linux.
the only computer user?!
Yeah, my wife does everything on her phone.
oof.
(I say, as though I don’t use my phone 4x more than my laptop, which is honestly a bad habit I need to break because programming on phone suuucks.)
my son only eats gushers gum
we have to hide his medicine in gushers gum

Show him The Stanley Parable. Prepare him for his future
Haha, yes, he has played that one quite a bit!
You can show him the wonders of 3rd party FOSS linux minecraft launchers like polymc.
You can also be a good parent and not introduce him to a modded gaming addiction.
This is like the trolley prolem all over again.
Prism launcher! Has a cat button too
Switch over to Luanti instead of Minecraft😉
I don’t know if this still holds but, my experience is that minecraft works arguably better on linux
Strangely enough, Bedrock is har to use on Linux. Java is so much better though.
