I was so surprised when I was preparing for the battle of installing it on my kids' computer and found out the answer was ... dl the linux version from the minecraft website.
You could also install one of the third party launchers( as flatpacks or from their website) to easily download mods
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Prism launcher and ATlauncher are 2 good options
For prism launcher, it may be required to manually choose which version of java to use
