[MCL-12066] Minecraft Launcher Game Directory does not know how to cope with a linux file format

A couple of issues that this causes:

Clicking on "Browse" for game directory does nothing
Setting the game directory path to "/home/username/.minecraft/profilename" crashes the game

EDIT: I wrote some things about how I faked a windows file format to sort it out. Turns out that only works once.

This issue is well beyond me and this bug report may be useless.

(Apologies for the bad bug report format; I am not good with these.)

Setting the game directory path to "/home/username/.minecraft/profilename" crashes the game

In what way? Does it create a crash report? If yes, please attach it. If not, please attach the launcher log.

Sorry, turns out I was a bit of an idiot - the crash happens because of some outdated fabric mods, not because of the directory. Just tried it with vanilla and it worked. Nevertheless, clicking "browse" still does nothing, so this bug report isn't completely useless (yay!).
