Most likely a bios setting…[dig in](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dell+bios+settings+for+dual+booting+linux&ia=web)

The more I use Linux Mint, the more I realize there aren’t nearly as many limitations versus Windows as I thought there were. This was one of the best recommendations I have ever received while being a TP member…thanks again @TXRon.

On my main computer I use mint on a arch linux system but on my laptop I use linuxmint and I always tell newbies to try linuxmint because its so well put together and user friendly. The first step is the hardest 😅

TXRon, This problem may interest you. Thanks in advance for any help. It may be a problem with a linux setting or a phone setting. I’ve spent hours looking for a solution and am now asking for help:
On linux my samsung phone gallery doesn’t show up with usb charge and data cable connected. The phone sees the gallery and a different Windows 11 PC also sees the gallery with a usb charge and data cable connected. I get these messages: "unable to open a folder…Object dpes mpt exost at “/org/gtk/vfs/mount/1” and “Could not display “mtp://SAMSUNG\_SAMSUNG\_Android\_R5CTBOEZO0D”…The location is not a folder.”
Any suggestions???

sounds like a permission issue within linux
