So I just updated the launcher and saw the new 'Skins' option at the top, but when I click on it, the launcher just blanks out and everything turns grey. It shows a few options and 3 loading dots and then nothing:

I have attached a log since I'm having the same issue on Arch Linux 5.3.8-arch1-1 with version 2.1.9618-2 when opening the Skins tab (the skins tab appears for a second and then goes to the state described and documented by OP).
22:01:05 is the time in the log where the issue occurs (after clicking the Skins tab). Minecraft launcher has been installed using minecraft-launcher AUR package.
I just went and helped someone install the Minecraft Launcher though the AUR and the skin option seemed to work when building it for the first time.

Still a problem in 2.1.12464. Minecraft is still looking for libraries in a folder called swiftshader in it's working directory despite it not existing. The difference now is that the launcher no longer blanks out but informs you of your device not supporting WebGL, despite this not being the case. My previous workaround of copying/symlinking libGLESv2 and libEGL to a folder called 'swiftshader' in '/opt/minecraft-launcher' still works.
try makeing the launcher a shortcut then right click it. look for a button that says "Troubleshoot Compatibility" and click it. then click "Try recommended settings". click "Test the program..." and if its not blank and it actually shows up, click the "Next" button and then click the button labeled "Yes, save these settings for this program"
The solution of Nicholas works but not without this block of text repeating over and over in the terminal and created the following in home directory (Xubuntu 20.04Â 5.4.0-29-generic, OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 20.0.4 Video memory: 4096 MB)
