[MC-228797] Java edition 1.17 won't start on Linux (GLFW error 65543) with Java 16 or Java 17

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.

I am not sure it does duplicate MC-128302, which is about GLFW error 6554*2* not 6554*3*.

Sorry! I'm sure the Mods will still direct you to Mojang technical support or Discord. I'm guessing it's OpenGL 3.2 causing issue.
This project is for in-game Java Edition bugs.
