My apologies if this is not the right place for this feature request. Please add the Minecraft Launcher to the [Snap Store| https://snapcraft.io/ ]. It is a universal app store for Linux. Applications in this app store can be installed on [many different Linux distributions| https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snapd ] and applications are sandboxed so you don't get compatibility issues. You create the snap package once and you can install and run it on all supported distributions.   As a user, I really like the Snap Store because of the following  * *Enabled by default in Ubuntu*. On a default Ubuntu installation, when you open the "Ubuntu Software" store, all snaps are available and ready to install. This store is the first place I go look when I want to install an application.  * *Sandboxed*. None of the dependencies of the Minecraft snap are installed on my system; they are only available to Minecraft itself. The snap also has limited access to my host system, this improves the stability and security of my computer and of the application.  * *Easy to install*. You just click "install" in Ubuntu Software or you type `snap install <name>`.  * *Automatic updates.* Snaps automatically update themselves in the background. I don't have to worry about old versions or manually update applications.   The Snap store also has many advantages for publishers. Some of these are explained here: https://docs.snapcraft.io/java-applications
