I tried to get Waydroid running on Mint and it was sub-optimal.
I have been using Mint for a few years and really like it.
So I installed Mint on the laptop I gave to my son; it has been a few years; but now he wants Minecraft education. It works well using Waydroid (tested on a VM on my big desktop).
What is the best way to get Minecraft Education (not regular Minecraft) on Linux?

IIRC, Cinnamon (Linux Mint's desktop environment) only has experimental Wayland support, so of course it will be sub-optimal. Maybe try labwc + Xfce.

Yeah that may take a while. Personally, I don't mind but if you need something that requires Wayland, Mint isn't for you.

Not familiar with that version of Minecraft, but looking it up it seems like there's a Windows version of it. Have you tried the Windows version under WINE/Proton already?

Doesn't work, it's packaged as an UWP app which makes it not work afaik

(Just ensuring OP is notified: @absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz)
Since the very recent 0.9.0 update of WinBoat, UWP app support has been added. So, that's perhaps worth exploring.

the arch wiki says you can, it doesn't really elaborate on it though
