Executing .sh files
I just upgraded to Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon from the previous version. Now when I try to run an executable .sh file in any file manager, nothing happens. I used to be able to click on the .sh file to install a game and it would launch, now since the upgrade nothing happens. Any ideas?

Re: Executing .sh files
You don't press enter after typing sh
Type the " sh"... one spacebar press...then the rest of that path and file all in one command

@Tinman
That looks to me that you are doing the right thing.
I think you need to look for a later version of the installer, or tell them the installer doesn't work on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon and ask them to update their installer.
