If you look in .minecraft/launcher_log.txt in your home directory, you might see "Failed to load /home/white/.minecraft/launcher/liblauncher.so: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/white/.minecraft/launcher/liblauncher.so)"
If so, you're probably running Ubuntu 18 or similar, with an older version of the GLIBC library. This version needs a really new shiny version (for no real reason imho). That would make this yet another duplicate of MCL-22241.
