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.

The problem is mate is that not all games have native Linux versions, If FIFA 17 were on steam, you could use proton on it but I believe it isn't.
It just comes with the territory of Linux that some games are windows only and can be finicky.
Minecraft however, should run fine on potato machines and with Linux, should have a native port you can install from say Flatpak.
When moving to the penguin train, he needs to write down what software and games he wants to use, and what might be omitted due to compatibility issues.
If the man wants to use Windows, let him be, he might reconsider in future about trying Mint again or another distro like Kubuntu.
