It's shit. Minecraft is so odd with editions and launchers because Minecraft Bedrock is Microsoft's weaponized and monetized version and it is fucking with everyone on purpose. The Java version is the real Minecraft, and it always will be. Kids will never understand this, because they are vulnerable to Microsoft's relentless advertising and branding that they use Minecraft Bedrock specifically as a vehicle for, which flows directly into kids' brains through their social networks (both digital and real-world, in school, in the neighborhood) and all the other marketing efforts their vulnerable minds are constantly bombarded with. Therefore, Minecraft Bedrock is the future, and that future leads you directly and inevitably into Microsoft's grasp. This is not an accident.

I know this knowledge probably doesn't help you at this stage. You can probably get it working in Linux, for now, but it will always be clumsy and sort of a mess because it will always be an arms race with Microsoft's enshittification strategies, and there's a good chance that Microsoft will eventually win. Unless we can somehow all convince our kids, "You know what, this sucks, let's go play with some modded Java version instead". Good luck with that.
