When trying to open the launcher it tries to load up with the armadillo loading screen before going to a screen that reads: “Whoops! An unexpected issue occurred; we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please try restarting your Launcher…”. After I restart the launcher and my computer a few times, still doesn’t work.

Correction. To make the launcher work every time, the following command has to be used to start the launcher:
rm ~/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences ; minecraft
What is going on? This bug has been there for months.

Running the following bash command as the non root user that runs minecraft solved the issue for me:
rm ~/.minecraft/webcache2/Default/Preferences
Then after that running minecraft again and this time it works.
