Why can't I play old versions of Minecraft?

I switched from "Windows 10" to "Linux Mint (now version 19.2)" and I have a problem.
Since the switch, I have been trying to start other versions of Minecraft, but I'm unable to play versions older than "1.14.4" (without any modifications [no JVM arguments]).

I also downloaded the game launcher several times and always deleted everything beforehand. But without success. The message is the same for all older versions:

ERROR. Crash. An unexpected problem occurred and the game crashed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

And then only the possibility to close that message.

In the log file under "~ / .minecraft / logs" there are only the following data:

[14:52:55] [Client thread / INFO]: Setting user: schwappo
[14:52:57] [Client thread / WARN]: Skipping bad option: key_key.pickItem: key.mouse.middle

[14:52:57] [Client thread / WARN]: Skipping bad option: key_key.advancements: key.keyboard.l

… (Another 23 similar lines)

[14:52:57] [Client thread / WARN]: Skipping bad option: key_key.swapHands: key.keyboard.f
[14:52:57] [Client thread / INFO]: LWJGL version: 2.9.4

I suspected that the configuration file contains errors due to the version change and I have therefore deleted everything and reinstalled it, but without success. Somehow I couldn't find any other "error logs".

When I used Windows, every version worked without exception, I don't understand where the error lies and therefore ask for help.

I have an ASUS F756UX-T7015T notebook with an Intel Core i7-6500U CPU, an 8 GB (DDR 3) RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M graphics card.

Ja

The whole log would be more helpful. There's a mistake, you just sent warnings!

Ma

Sorry,

but apart from 23 similar lines (all warnings), that's somehow all from the file "~ / .minecraft / logs / last-log.txt".

Or do you know another file that contains the errors?

Ja

Also in the folder crash-reports and in logs in the file last-log.txt, but everything about the crash reports is more detailed, this file would be more meaningful.

Ma

The directory "crash reports" does not exist.

Do you have the .deb version?

Try the snap variant:

sudo apt install -y snapd

sudo snap install mc-installer

Ma

Thanks for your answer, unfortunately I didn't see it at first.

Do you have the .deb version?

Yes I have. When I get the command

sudo snap install mc-installer

execute, the whole session crashes.

With the best will in the world, I can't understand why.
