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.

My brother in Christ, the entire game is mod based. The default unmaintained Minetest Game isn't even preinstalled in new versions.
Performance wise it will blow Minecraft out of the water usually. However, keep in mind it still doesn't scale between cores very well. Before it was all single core but now it has support for multi core although performance is still limited on high core count CPUs.
Can it do splitscreen natively without requiring things a 5 year old couldn't do?
Not without significant modifications. The best way for now is to have a server with multiple client devices such as tablets.
