Following advice on MC-228046, installing Java 16 and running with `JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-16.0.1/ minecraft-launcher` does not help.
Upgrading to Debian bullseye, installing openjdk-17 (and making it default) does not help.
when we run the launcher from a terminal:
You need to get a copy of open jdk 16, and install it too - its only in debian unstable at the moment so you'll need to do it manually, and set JAVA_HOME etc accordingly.
