Playing Java (as mentioned by others) should work just fine on Linux. IIRC Fabric mod loader works pretty well, although it’s been a year since I’ve played.
Sideboard - if you’ve got an nvidia card, look into a mod called nvidium. That plus a few other visual mods got me to 128 chunk render @ ~500FPS… it’s pretty awesome, just only works w/ nvidia cards.
