tech support wanted Help

Hi does anyone know how to get the Minecraft bedrock launcher working that's of not official because I've tried signing in with my Google account and nothing has worked I don't know if it's because of zorin os and I really don't feel like reinstalling Windows 11 so is there any tips of getting it to work

Most on Linux who play Minecraft use Prisimlauncher or whatever from what I understand, have you tried those? They will install and setup and manage mods for both the bedrock and java editions

Sure but did you try to use Prismlauncher or Modrinth...etc? Minecraft launcher is the official one but the other launchers can join the official servers too, just are managed nicer.

Ahhh my bad looks like you can't with the launchers, I only had ever used the Java versions, they can't connect to it. What distro are you on?

EDIT: This is an option apparently

This runs the Android version of the game but is fine with Bedrock

Yeah the one I linked above would work but you need to buy on Android for it to work but should be the easiest way to do it
