Can you give us the environment you are using (OS/CPU architecture...)?

Please also provide logs from the terminal, which likely have a much better error message.

If you click yes, we will try and open https://links.minecraftforge.net/early-display-errors in your default browser

Judging from /home/runner/.minecraft/ you are trying to run the launcher on a remote instance on replit which has no hardware-accelerated graphics output and thus initializing OpenGL fails.

You can easily confirm this by running glxinfo -B inside the instance, and looking at the output.

Edit: In case it does have hw accel graphics, it's likely that the OpenGL version is lower than what Minecraft needs to run.
