I had a similar "last straw" moment this morning and put Ubuntu 18.04 on the Minecraft/Netflix notebook. Very smooth install and having Minecraft as a 1-click install in the Snap store was a pleasant surprise compared to having to install Oracle's Java and/or find a ppa with the right configuration of Minecraft junk. Plus the LAN issues we were having with Minecraft have disappeared, and the trackpad response is better, and the fonts even seem crisper for some reason. BTW this is a $200 notebook with 2GB of ram and a 32GB emmc for storage. It didn't have enough free space to keep Windows 10 updated (even after removing Chrome, Minecraft, and assorted OEM bloatware). Now with Ubuntu (minimal install plus Minecraft) there is 20GB free.
