The bug report was left in February 2026, nearly 5 years ago! At that time I was running Linux on a Chromebook. I no longer have the Chromebook or Linux. When I could no longer update my Windows 10 laptop I considered installing Linux Mint but decided to go over to Windows 11 on an Microsoft Surface laptop with an arm64 Snapdragon X Plus processor. Unfortunately Linux is totally confusing for the average user thanks to the various distros, as well as being unreliable thanks to the many bugs.
