Everything is completely clean.

When connected to laptop kobo should appear on desktop as a device.
Nothing appears.
Laptop is working perfectly.
Linux Mint 22.3 cinnamon.
Linux Mint will not detect your Kobo until you tap connect on the pop up Computer Detected window on your Kobo. If this box does not appear when you connect your Kobo, but your Kobo charges, you probably have a damaged/defective cable that no longer supports data but does support charging. This is more likely than a damaged usb-c port on the Kobo. Please try a different cable that supports data.

Easiest way to know if your computer knows the Kobo is there is either type lsusb in the terminal, or open the Disks program. The Kobo will be listed as Linux File-Stor Gadget.
