Hello!
Today I imported my original collection package from a google drive to Anki on Fedora36 Linux. I received the following error message when I tried to access tools → preferences from the startup screen. The preferences window was a very important part of the interface for me on my original setup of Windows 11! Please address this as soon as possible.
Error
An error occurred. Please use Tools \> Check Database to see if that fixes the problem.

Anki 2.1.15 is quite old. Could you try the latest version and see if that works properly?

Please update this _very_ old Anki version using a [download from the Anki website](https://apps.ankiweb.net/). It is a known issue with this outdated version (likely distributed through package managers), that does not occur in recent versions.

Thank you guys! I uninstalled from the software hub, and installed again from the anki website! After some tweaks to the initial install, all is working well!
