I just deleted my `~/.minecraft` folder and redownloaded a fresh Minecraft.deb file, and re-ran it, and I'm still getting the exact same errors:
here is the tail from my `~/.minecraft/launcher_log.txt` file showing the error still:

If this is your first time running Minecraft, please ensure you are connected to the internet so we can download updates.

as such Minecraft is currently unplayable on any distro based on Ubuntu 18.04 😞
thank you! I tested it, and it works great now <3
