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.

Yep, I didn't convert either of my accounts over as well.
I would just try it and see what you think of it! It's completely free. Minetest is the program you install on your computer, and then there are lots of different games that you can download and try inside of Minetest. There's more besides Minecraft-likes that you can try, and there are definitely mods available. I never modded Minecraft though, so I'm not sure how they compare.
As to system requirements, it could run pretty well on a six year old Android phone the last I tried. It might be worth a shot on your laptop! Be aware that it'll probably be a somewhat different experience than Minecraft, but not necessarily in a bad way!
