After all the stupid drama in the last few years, we loaded Linux Mint Mate on all my parents computers. My mom can't really tell the difference and my dad likes it.

If Microsoft is losing 65 year olds, they've got a problem.

Microsoft lost my 80yr old aunt and my two under teenager kids. My last hold-out at home is my son's laptop, which he needed Windows for a proctered exam (now completed). He's excited to soon be on the same OS as his other family members.

The only thing keeping me from switching my kids to linux is minecraft.

Project Ozone 3, Enigmatica 2 Expert, Nomifactory, GregTech New Horizons, Sky Factory 4, and SevTech Ages all run fine under GNU/Linux, is there some modpack that doesn't work?

Presumably it's because of Bedrock. Which is the inferior game, yes, but it's the cross-platform one.

		Yes, because all their friends use bedrock on tablets/switch/etc.

Minecraft works just fine on Linux.

		If you can get bedrock working on it, I’ll be happy to follow your steps. None of their friends play java edition and it’s not compatible with their realms.
