I was wondering for those with their Steam Decks already on hand, if someone would be willing to try Minecraft Bedrock Edition on the device. My understanding is that on Linux, it’s possible to download and run the Android version of Minecraft Bedrock.
That game is the one major hold up I have, as we’re intending to let the Steam Deck be my son’s first computer, but his friends will all be playing on a Minecraft Realm within the Bedrock side of things, not Java.
Any sort of thoughts on performance or even video would be awesome to see. I’d love to not have to install Windows and introduce a layer of confusion for my kid.
Thanks!

If you have the Bedrock latest version of Minecraft on both your PC or Switch, you can cross-play with the other. You can also cross play with Xbox one, Xbox series x/s, PS4, PS5, mobile, and tablet devices. For all of them, you will need a Microsoft account as well as any online play subscription necessary.

I have a workaround, get a app called "bluestacks" it's a android emulator, buy minecraft on the Google play store, install it, then tada minecraft bedrock on the steam deck.
How that could work if your steam deck was running Windows. Most people are still on SteamOS and BlueStacks had no Linux version. Plus if you were on windows you could just play bedrock though the Microsoft store.
