About Minecraft - what launcher(s) are you using on Linux? One of my kids is going through and playing all the old versions of the game, but I don't know if that would work on Linux?
Prism Launcher shows up in flat hub (the “app store” that comes with Bazzite).
It manages different Minecraft instances of different versions, and helps manage mods, texture packs, shaderpacks, etc.
(But in general, all versions of Minecraft: Java Edition support Linux, and most if not all Minecraft launchers, including the official one, support Linux)
I use prism launcher for Java edition Minecraft both on windows and Linux. (Good for modded setups and pinning versions as well much better than stock)
Its in Flathub on Linux (mint in my case)
