Linux kinda has an app store, but it's different on every distro, you have Chrome on Solus but Chromium on Linux Mint.
C++ is almost NEVER USED on linux because of c++ librarys so C is used instead.
??? What. Are. You. Talking. About.
Bedrock is written in C++, many linux programs are written in C++, it's just more versatile for new/recoded programs. "Almost never" is just an excuse because C++ came later than C. And C++ is compatible with C.

I'm a programmer. I use C/C++, BASIC, Assembly, and Python. If i sound too technicial, that's because it's the way i think.

Wait... One of the reasons you said it wouldn't happen was because of C++

It is available to linux tho. Its unnoficial, but it is, you can also connect to xbox account, so its definately working. Theres also a discord server for it, not sure what the link is tho.
I am a developer by profession, c/c++ amongst others, and haven't read much more nonsense in a single thread, than here.
C++ and C are both used A LOT on linux, and are highly cross platform languages. The biggest issue can be the libraries, which is not about the language itself.
You can probably run the normal bedrock version on linux using wine. As it uses opengl and not directx, it's very likely to just work.
Also note that the bedrock code runs on android devices, which basically is... linux.
This will never work because the bedrock edition runs from the microsoft store as a UWP app.
Wine is used for .exe programs not UWP apps.
And this wouldn't be the best way even if you could, since there's already an unofficial port available that gives access to everything including the xbox account sign in, natively, without the need to use any emulator, it also allows something better that the bedrock doesn't seem to offer, a launcher that allows you to use older versions of bedrock, much like the java edition. (but you can only get those versions if you have the older files in your machine).
Also, don't confuse android with linux, all android has is a linux kernel, nothing else, you dont have access to apt-get or anything + the android apps are in .apk form, much different from linux.
Have you seen Slackware? That has no apt-get or other package manager of the kind you describe. A package manager is not necessarily in all Distros. Also, .apks are to Android as .debs are to Debian and .rpms to those distros. In fact, there is a project to run Android on a desktop! Also, it is possible to get a package manager and command line on Android, they’re just not built in.
Do you think Bedrock Edition will come to Linux?
Probably not. Bedrock is aimed at younger audience. And so far it has been distributed through App Stores. Besides, C++ is not very portable.

Okay, but C is still more popular.

It says they had moved, New Repository
Well, atleast someone made it. Hopefully it works for Aquatic Update.
Not gonna try, because i use Windows.

I've never gotten wine to work.

They could put it on Steam.
Found this workaround works like a charm! : https://mcpelauncher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#
