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.
Why would you want to play Bedrock on Linux? The Java version is great, supports mods, etc. The only reason I can think of is to play with console players in MP, so I recommend pressuring them to play the Java version so you can use mods (or play Minetest if they don't want to pay). It runs fine on most potatoes, so if they have a PC of any variety, they can probably run it.
There is also GeyserMC which translates Bedrock connections to Java allowing Bedrock players to join
Huh, cool! I'll try that the next time my kids' friends want to play Bedrock (they only have consoles).
