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.

Go with a classic: Minecraft Java. Bonus - use the prism launcher for mod packs. Vanilla MC is kinda boring (at least once you see all the bonkers stuff mods can add, just like Skyrim XD )
I find it difficult to play vanilla Minecraft anymore. Every now and then my niece will ask if I'll play with her, so I'll boot up my switch. Other than that, modded is the way to go. I started shortly after Iskall85 started his single-player Vault Hunters series. Have yet to "finish" any pack, but they're fun!
I'm generally happy just installing Mekanism and a few small extras, honestly. (Kind of wish BuildCraft was still a going concern, though... I miss those stupid quarries)
Man, just as that style of quarry fell out of popularity for being too laggy, Mojang went and fixed the cause of their lag. Now massive pits would be cool, but everyone uses direct replacement quarries or even just ore generators.
On the other hand, you could make a good ol' pit quarry yourself with Create! It's a bit harder, and probably more likely to break, but definitely impressive and unique.
I do like Create a lot. I really need to spend some proper time with it!
Personally, I've been really enjoying the technical side of vanilla minecraft. Like building farms, machines and automation. So after I saw you mention quarries, I wanted to share my recent project. This machine destroys over 5 million blocks in total, and it's so satisfying to see it run.
Impressive! Do you have a video of it in action? How does it work?
That's the neat part, you never finish
A lot of the modern packs have quests. It could be considered finished when you complete all of those, which I haven't. Now I'm playing DW20 which doesn't have quests, so I can avoid all those judgemental looks I was giving myself.
