All versions of Forge just crash.

[Oletrix]

Hi. Don't know really were to begin so I'm just going to spew out data.

I'm trying to get forge running on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. 
I'm new to Linux and could put a Windows 10 SSD into my system but I'm very determined.

I'v bought the game couple days ago, wanting to play some modded v. of MC
Started reading, installing forge, changing the java version.
And it worked, once, not detecting the Craft of Titans mod.

But it didn't run aver again even on a clean installation of MC.

And I've tried a couple of forge versions: 1.14.. 1.12.. 1.7.. 
I'm pretty sure that just installing a different v. on top of the previous one didn't work as they did not even showed up in the launcher.
Deleting the .minecraft folder isn't probably the right way to uninstall.
I've spent to many hours already trying to find some info on the internet, but all the post ar from 5 or more years ago on older versions or about windows forge.

Any way, here are some screenshots:

And hopefully some logs:

Thank you in advance to anyone that has the patience to help me out.

The log you posted shows you using Java 9 or newer.

sudo update-alternatives --config java

There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Any good guides on how to get the proper java installed and running?
