Minecraft is a blast! You can buy it and then throw the awful Microsoft launcher in the trash. There areuch better bootleg launchers (i.e. don't force login). Or just get the bootleg launcher without buying the game.
I have bought the game five times on different platforms by now. I'm not buying it anymore.
My kids also had a lot of fun choosing and figuring out the plethora of mods available.

Can I recommend Minecraft over Roblox?
Minecraft isn't as popular, but I was able to get my 8 year old to make TNT arrows and he thought it was a blast. (Hehehehe)
And Minecraft Java definitely works on Linux
Edit: My son claims Roblox is more popular. But that could be because I banned it at home.

I literally paid 20€ for 2000h of fun (1c per hour), I'd say that's warranted
