You can try playing Minetest, it’s not a game on its own. More like a game engine. One of the most popular games for it is Mineclone 2. Though you will likely need to run your own server if you want to play the game online with a friend.
If you’re down for some 🏴☠️🦜 there are ways to play Minecraft multiplayer without needing an account.
Otherwise, Minetest is your best bet. It looks and plays like an older version of Minecraft.
Vintage Story is an acquired taste, it’s actually not that similar to Minecraft as you would think. It’s a hardcore survival game where everything takes a lot of time. You’ll spend many hours before you’re even able to mine stone and you need to manage your resources properly.
For a Minecraft alternative maybe have a look at Minetest. Minetest is a voxel game engine that allows for a wide variety of voxel games. (And you cannot connect to Minetest servers with it, of course.)
One of those voxel games is named “MineClone2”. It is not a 100% clone, though.
Check out the “Completion status” section on the MineClone2 page I linked, there are lists of what features are available and what’s missing, also what’s added exclusively for MineClone2.
I haven’t tried it but Veloren looked nice: https://veloren.net/
I contributed to that once! Super cool project

Valheim is very Linux friendly and is a great game. No Man’s Sky runs great on Proton, as well.

Not sure about multiplayer, but there are launchers like PollyMC that can be used to play Minecraft on Linux without an account
PolyMC still requires an account, otherwise Microsoft lawyers would pretty soon knock at their door.
And as the other commenter said, you should use Prism Launcher instead.
PollyMC not PolyMC (the controversial one)
Fyi PolyMC underwent a hostile takeover of sorts last year; I believe most of the former dev team now works on its fork Prism Launcher.

You install Minetest and from within the client you can install MineClone2.
As someone who does not play Minecraft, what are some of the major differences between mineclone2 and Minecraft?
I’m just curious, so no need to respond if it’s too much effort to explain🙏
