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
