I have installed mint on my laptop and zorin on my desktop. Got both working pretty much. Here is my problem: Arduino works fine on mint. Not so much zorin. Its all about not being able to easily select a sketch. In zorin (arduino preferences)I can't select a sketchbook location. Anything I try results in "invalid sketchbook location" or "unable to watch for file changes...". When I go looking for a sketch a sketch I cant open it with Arduino. I am about to delete zorin and install mint on my laptop unless I can find a solution.
Did you try to switch to Xorg if you are on Wayland? Logout and at login screen click on your username, then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right corner. There you can switch between Xorg and Wayland.
you may have to create the Arduino folder on your home directory
then use the program to save the sketchbook within that newly created folder.
this is a link to Arduino explaining the file locations needed.

Is it installed as Flatpak or .deb/APT Package? If it is the Flatpak, I would suggest to uninstall it and try the APT Package. Alternatively, You can download from the Developer the AppImage:
