@AsciiWolf Until this issue is fixed, you can workaround it by using an LD_PRELOAD: https://github.com/ericpruitt/homeishome

I had the same error on Ubuntu 20.04 with an existing `.minecraft` directory. When I remove the directory and try again, I run into the `is not a valid directory` issue:

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but this is what I get when I run the latest minecraft launcher on Ubuntu 20.04.

This is even with a regular home directory so it looks like something regressed further.

Since this is a feature request, I can't upload a crash report
