I installed the official launcher as many are suggesting. Unfortunately, my Dell XPS-13 "Developer Edition" - which came with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed, several years ago - fails to launch the new launcher with this error:
minecraft-launcher: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by minecraft-launcher)
minecraft-launcher: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by minecraft-launcher)
minecraft-launcher: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by minecraft-launcher)
So it seems I have a fun-filled weekend of Ubuntu distribution upgrade in my future? Or a new laptop purchase. At any rate, would be nice to have a minimum Ubuntu version listed on the downloads page.
A work-around for this would be great, seems very much like a programmer error "duplicate key" - not an intentional bug to discourage stealing.
