    Watched my Linux friend have a stroke trying to install Minecraft on his computer that was enough for me. That and the time I permanently bricked a linux laptop with a single line of code for homework.

        The Minecraft developers don't provide any easy-to-use installer for Linux. These are the options:

        Linux Distributions

        Debian and Debian-based Distributions

        Arch and Arch-based Distributions

        Other distributions

        No documentation, just executable files that do who-knows-what.

        Okay I guess the first two options are pretty simple, they're just a .deb and a link to the Arch page for the launcher.

            Because they come with installers that do all the work and have installation prompts for selecting install location and other options. They're usually pretty intuitive. The Minecraft installer is one such case.
