From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I primarily prefer it because it does pretty much all the Minecraft stuff I want it to do, and it's got other games available as well. Plus, completely Linux compatible and no Microsoft account!

It isn't that Minetest is good. It is that Minecraft as enshitified

Idk I run my own PO3 server on Java and everything but the launcher is fine. I'm sure Bedrock is completely molested though.

But don't you need an account?

If you run your own server it's as simple as setting

Online-Mode: false

And installing an account management plugin if you open it to other players (so people can't just easily change names and impersonate someone)

I exclusively played on and ran cracked servers for 6 years (2011-2017), shit rules
