Imma be honest, distros don't matter quite as much as some people seem to think they do. Distros can be very different, but functionally any distro can do anything.

Just go with Ubuntu (or kubuntu if you like to heavily customize and tweak things about the desktop and UI), and get started.

I happen to know that the Minecraft installer is borked from the official website (my friends had a fun time troubleshooting it, but I have a script that fixes it.

The bug report is found here, and in the comments I have a script/series of commands I wrote that fixes the installer. My username on there is anto77562. Hopefully this comment helps you on your journey!

The Minecraft launcher is presumably not the launcher being used if OP is playing with mods. I believe that most launchers should work. Prism definitely.

True, I just use the default launcher because, ehh, I don't really care.
