I've tried playing Minecraft on Ubuntu (Linux) but when I do I have to always restart my browser (Chrome) afterwards. I've also tried using Firefox but I get the same issues. I'm ready to buy the game, I'm just not sure whether it's worth while when I have these annoying problems. And will, the Minecraft application that allows you to fly around, work on my machine?
