On a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install the minecraft launcher appears to enter an infinite loop and never opens when launched. This does however work when using the following snap package https://snapcraft.io/mc-installer
Maybe Mojang should consider distributing the Linux version as a snap file in order to reduce the amount of incompatibility complaints received?

Could you answer few questions regarding this issue, it will help with the investigation:
Does this issue still occurs on newest version of the Launcher?
Have you tried deleting launcher_settings.json from .minecraft folder?
Do you use VPN or any of the incompatible software on machine you try to log-in?
Could you record a video of the issue?
