Not planned
Description
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
20.1

Agreed that that grayed out menu is a duplicate.
But checking for dialout membership would geatly improve the user experience.I just love it when you download the IDE and it works out of the box.
Same goes for the Espressif boards manager url. Why isnt that one added as default?
