Install a Java runtime in Ubuntu and install closed sourced drivers from Nvidia or AMD and you should be able to run Minecraft. The reason for this solution is because malware needs an environment to work, and Linux is not the malware's expected environment. And there are lots of free guides on how to harden Linux, so harden your system. Go for defense in depth, specify an AppArmor profile for Minecraft - for example it can restrict what code libraries and directories your Minecraft can touch, its kind of like a straitjacket approach. Try it, you will have fun doing Linux security. And Ubuntu is lighter than Windows, it will run very smoothly on your new machine. If you are new to Linux, know that Linux has adopted Windows' UI standards, it's windowing system behaves like Windows, ctrl-C still copies and ctrl-V still pastes, right click gives you the familiar choices and so on.(Reason I’m asking is I play a lot of modded Minecraft, which all the mods are Java, and you can’t really put them in sandboxes or anything cause of the way they work).
In fact, you won't be a pioneer because it is supported and it's been done. Here's the guide: How to Install Minecraft on Linux ? - GeeksforGeeks
