I cannot launch Minecraft Java Edition

I cannot open Minecraft java edition on my Acer Nitro 5 laptop. If I try to open it, my cursor will just load and nothing will happen. I do not know why is this happening and I tried searching on youtube for solutions. I found out that I am not the only one who is having this problem launching it but other people too worldwide! It is a waste of money and I am frustrated. I hope you can respond back and fix this problem, I would be glad to get a refund or exchange it with the windows version.
