I'm willing to bet 95% wouldn't care, they have their web browser there and that's all that's needed.

I'd even go so far as to say most people would find a stable Linux distro with GNOME easier than Windows. The user experience for most part is closer to that of your Android phone.

That's kinda my point, Android is a Linux based OS. But go to any random guy with a Samsung and ask him to install Minecraft on a Linux desktop and he'll have a panic attack.

I wish more distros had flatpak installed by default, so I could just say "same way as on your phone, from 'app store' "

I mean, even if the distro doesn't have Flathub enabled by default, a program as popular as Minecraft will almost certainly be in the repos anyway.

Potentially. I only checked Debian repos and flathub

open app store > search 'Minecraft' > press install

It's literally harder to install on Windows

I mean, you just download the jar installer from the website.. I do get your point, but things have changed seemingly over the past few decades, as I've only been maining popOS for about 3 years. But I was honestly shocked I could still run so much with near negligible hassle: couple steam games liked an earlier version of proton more, web work I would argue has been easier for the most part
