I used to solve this by just installing another launcher. there were some good ones around, they should still work I hope.

Yea before I switched to PopOS due to the Windows 11 online account/edge browser fiasco I used the launcher "Executor[0]". Exectuor is by far the most powerful launcher I have ever used, to bad there isn't a launcher in Linux that has all of the features.

Yeah, for those interested PolyMC works well on linux. It's a bit rough around the edges, but a diamond nonetheless compared to the official launcher.

Another anecdote is that minecraft 1.19 doesn't work on Ubuntu 18, as it uses glibc 2.29. D:

Weird, I am on Fedora and have none of the issues.
