The Launcher --workDir argument seems broken.
When I download the Other Linux tarball (https://launcher.mojang.com/download/Minecraft.tar.gz) and run
./minecraft-launcher --workDir /home/merlijn/testminecraft/.minecraft
Minecraft downloads the files Launcher to /home/merlijn/testminecraft/.minecraft but then tries to execute a non-existent launcher in /home/merlijn/.minecraft.
I attached four logs:
minecraft-launcher-cli-log.log is what I see in my terminal after running the above command.
I found launcher_log.txt and launcher_subprocess_log.txt in /home/merlijn/.minecraft
I found launcher_subprocess_log.txt in /home/merlijn/textminecraft/.minecraft
From the CLI log, it seems as if the minecraft launcher gets executed multiple times. The first time, it correctly used workDir, but the second time, it seems to forget that parameter.

@AsciiWolf Until this issue is fixed, you can workaround it by using an LD_PRELOAD: https://github.com/ericpruitt/homeishome
Any chance that this issue could be fixed? It is still a problem and breaks Minecraft for many Linux users.
