I'm kinda new on this, and need some help. I had MC on my windows with mods, when changing to Ubuntu I got the same version. I tried to install the mods I had on my windows but I cannot make it work, because there's no .minecraft file nor %appdata%. I followed instructions like copying modloader into the .jar file, which didn't work and other stuff Can you help me, please?

Ubuntu shows folders a bit differently, and organizes them in a different fashion.
Open your home folder. Press Ctrl+H. You should now see it as "dot-folders" are usually hidden. This assumes you have run minecraft as your user previously. If you haven't, run it, doing a few things in it(just to get it to create its config files).
2It's very simple to access it.
Open up Minecraft. If you haven't logged in yet, then do so, the at a corner of the window press the button that says "Edit Profile".
Then there's a button at the bottom that says "Open Game Dir" which will open the .minecraft folder you're looking for.
That's all there is to it.
.minecraft/mods and when you go to load it make sure you select the "forge" profile to access the mods in game!!
When you've installed it using snap install, try looking inside ~/snap/minecraft-launcher-ot/67/.minecraft Another way to find it on any operating system is by starting the game (so you come at the menu with "Singleplayer" and "Multiplayer" on it), pressing options >> Resource Packs... >> Open Resource Pack Folder and then going one folder level higher.
it actually is not called %APPDATA% It is actually called mods if you installed forge to access it you go to resource packs and open the file to put them in but then you go back a file (you will see it in the corner of the window) it is called .minecraft look in there AFTER you installed forge it will be there!;)
