Comment:
I've had issues in the past with very old versions of minecraft not working properly on newer java versions. In this case you're probably just missing graphics drivers like @Hnaguski said, but you can try launching the 1.8.9 instance with an older jdk. Here's a screenshot of [my beta 1.7.3 instance configured to use openjdk-8](https://paste.nilsu.org/91b5ead8b4bb8f647103fda5397d09055c5c7bd7.webp). You need to install the `openjdk-8` package for that to work.

Ultimately it's looking like the MultiMC package might need to be removed anyway. The [upstream license doesn't permit using the logo or name](https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/issues/4102) in packages such as ours 🙃. So the only way MultiMC can continue to be packaged is if we forked and renamed it. It's a mess, for now you're best off downloading a [procompiled binary it from their website](https://multimc.org/#Download), installing `qt5-svg`, and downloading the latest java manually like @Hnaguski suggested (or waiting on our package to be updated).

Normally you'd want to extract the MultiMC tar somewhere like `~/.local/opt/` and then link the executable to your local bin with `ln -s ~/.local/opt/MultiMC/MultiMC ~/.local/bin/MultiMC`. You could also create a `multimc.desktop` file in `~/.local/share/applications/` with the following if you want it to show up in most desktop environment launchers:
```desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1
Type=Application
Name=minecraft
GenericName=Minecraft
Comment=Game
Exec=/home/<Your Username>/.local/opt/MultiMC/MultiMC
Actions=
Categories=Game;
```
