      Actually, I always end up using ADB tools to get files or photos, you can get recursive files to get them all. I do it even with people that tries to get photos from their Windows machines, so I don’t think it’s a problem with Linux neither. This is the best way to get safely and correctly all your files.

    Mtp is your friend, here is hiw I do it on my devices (samsung a23 and both opensuse and arch):

    • I connect my phone to my pc. Then select mtp in the phone notification.

    • Start my file manager (dolphine or whatever) and access my phone storage from there.

    • Make sure to allow the notification on the phone asking if you want to sahre your storage with the external device.

    search usb in settings, set it to file transfer while its plugged into your pc. Alternatively you can install kde connect on both of the devices and transfer files wirelessly

    There is a package called android-transfer-file or something like that in the void repos but I’m not sure if its also in the mint repos, might be worth checking, its a gui app that makes it very straightforward to transfer files. Or in last resort you can always git clone the project and use ‘make’ to build manually the app
