Whenever I open the Minecraft launcher signed in as my Microsoft account which is my only account it will show me a message that says: "Oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn't connect to Minecraft Services" and the Play button is replaced with a Play offline button but once I click that to play offline, it will say I need to make a profile even though I have a profile and have been playing the game until this error occurred. But once I click to create a profile, it will sign me into the Minecraft website and bring me to my account profile screen where it will give me the message: "Something went wrong... press reload to try again." and once I click reload, nothing changes. this error happened on Friday, May 28th.

As a result of difficulties associated with switching from Mojang to Microsoft, you have finally convinced me to do something I should have years ago: abandoned Windows in favor of Linux.
Goodbye, Microsoft. It was fun, for a while, but you overstayed your welcome and just became a bloated pain.
