I was trying to play Minecraft, however, when I tried to launch it I ran into error 65542:

GLFW error 65542: GLX: No GLXFBConfigs returned.

Please make sure you have up-to-date drivers (see aka.ms/mcdriver for instructions)

This was on my uncle's comp, so he did the following:
1- did basic driver updates via terminal

after that we tested and it still didn't work

2- went to aka.ms/mcdriver

3- used that to go to the website that his driver was on

4- installed the most up-to-date drivers from that website

after that we tested and it still didn't work

Any tips/tricks to get MC working on his comp again?
He runs linux (or ubuntu, not sure... but he uses the Zoron distribution), it's not Windows nor MacOS.

after I exit 65542, error 65545 pops up:

GLFW error 65545: GLX: Failed to find a suitable GLXFBConfig.

Please make sure you have up-to-date drivers (see aka.ms/mcdriver for instructions).

Older versions don't give error message, but don't launch either.

NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050]

that's the graphics that are used.

until recently I did not have this issue... and I've played 1.16-1.18 plenty before... even the one-block at a time update I've played before... but now none will launch, and only the newest 1.19 pre-releace 2 seems to show the error messages?

please remember, I'm using linux, not Windows!

Is this this the control panel you mean? if so, where do I go, if not, I'm not sure what you mean?

oof, sadly that didn't work... did it all, tried to run mc, restarted, tried to run mc, both times it showed the same errors

not sure if my uncle would be up for that (that takes root perms, so he has to do it as it's his comp), last time, when he updated via the website, he had issues with his other monitors not working (he uses 3 for 1 desktop)... I doubt he'd be willing to downgrade

can you tell me how you would respond to each answer? as I don't know and will need to ask my uncle when he wakes up.
