Describe the problem

apparently the current user has to be added to the dialout group.
This has been the case for some time, however, the IDE now does not even offer a greyed-out the tools->port setting.
I suggest to add a pop up note when the port menu item is clicked when there are no ports available.

To reproduce

fresh installed Linux mint and the IDE 2.03 as appimage.

Expected behavior

there should be a check upon program startup if user is a member of the dialout group.

Arduino IDE version

2.03

Operating system

Linux

Operating system version
