MCL-22301Minecraft Launcher won't open on Linux Debian
Minecraft Launcher won't open. When I click on it, it says it's updating, but won't start. It has been doing this for days and I've tried reinstalling Minecraft, updating and restarting my computer, and it doesn't fix it. The only thing that makes it open is if I update the launcher from my laptop's update manager, but then I am signed out and cannot sign back in with my Microsoft account (I never made a Mojang account, since my Minecraft account was made in early 2021)
I am using Linux (Debian Ubuntu specifically)
Environment
Linux mint (Debian/Ubuntu), Java version

I had the same issue, though I did used to have a Mojang account. I have since migrated and cannot use the later version of the official Minecraft launcher I think because it is set to only accept Mojang accounts. Whether that is the case or not, that launcher does not allow me to choose the account type like the older one did, and the older one no longer launches following an automatic update one day last week when I tried to run it.
I have had some success with a workaround, updating my OS from Linux Mint 19.1 to 20.3 (as the launcher_log.txt file said my GLIBC version was too old). This worked for me to be able to run the Minecraft launcher once again, but a patch for this bug would be very helpful as running such an upgrade is a considerable inconvenience. I am attaching the redacted form of the launcher_log.txt file.launcher_log.txt
