XBMC is just a software package. You can install it on top of Linux, Windows, or Mac. Some distributions come with it preinstalled.
There's nothing to stop you having both XBMC and Minecraft on the same Linux machine.
So i'm guessing OpenElec is a form of Linux with XBMC pre-installed upon it? I've also heard that SteamOS is based on Linux.. So would it be possible to install SteamOS with XBMC and Minecraft? Or am I just being overly hopeful?
I'd just like the option of upgrading some parts to something a bit more powerful and then be able to do some light gaming of some indie games in the future if I wanted!
