Clonezilla backup 1st because this hasn’t always gone flawlessly. Until the recent 1 click OpenSuse Tumbleweed install I hadn’t installed it in years. So on Mint it was three debs to install 1) Free Pascal 2) Free Pascal sources and 3) Lazarus itself. All 3 installed with no problems! Even though I was recently playing with it on Tumbleweed I still had a moment of confusion. The problem is when I right click a Lazarus project file in the directory, the file manager shows me Lazarus WITH the Lazarus icon as an option, making me believe Lazarus Knows what to do with it’s own file…however it doesn’t! This particular project has a form with controls and code attached to those controls. But that’s not what you see if you open the project by right click. I finally remembered the solution. If you just start Lazarus AND close any files it has open and THEN select the Lazarus project file it works. You would think Lazarus would know how to deal with with it’s own files. I can right click on a Python, Go or Julia program then select VS Code and VS code opens them properly. Anyway I had the same problem on Tumbleweed
