[SOLVED] Launcher won't start (linux)

Yesterday my minecraft worked fine, but today it has stopped working all of a sudden. When I try to launch it, it doesn't come up with anything and the log doesn't tell me much either.

I've tried a few different methods of reinstalling, all didn't make any difference. I use a 2015 macbook pro and dual booted macos and linux, on macos, mc works fine

 

When I do "minecraft-launcher" in my terminal it comes up with this:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
 what():  basic_string::_M_construct null not valid
Aborted (core dumped)
