App added via menu editor won't launch

So I was trying to add this application to my app grid called Grayjay using the menu editor menulibre. While the application was added to the app grid every time I try to launch it does absolultly nothing. I have tried making a .sh file to launch the app and then adding that but that did not work either. I am able to run both the executable and the .sh file via the command line. Is there a way I can fix this so that I can launch the Grayjay via the app grid instead of the terminal.

libmtp error when copying from ntfs to phone on Linux

Ok I was copying a bunch of games from one of my Windows drives over to my phone while booted into Linux. And I got this error that says "libmtp error: Could not open source file". Thankfully I was able to copy the files when I was booted into Windows but it would be nice if I could Transfer files from my Windows drives without having to reboot into Windows. Is there a way I can fix this problem.

I think it might have to do with the ntfs file system because I copied one of the files from the phone back to my Desktop which is ext4 and then back to the phone without any issues. I already tried installing ntfs-3g which was already installed on my distro.

Is there a way I can reinstall Linux Mint without messing up my Windows Partition?

Long story short I was messing around in the terminal and messed up my Linux Mint Installation and now when I boot into Linux I only get a CLI and don't even see the Linux mint logo. I tried to restore to a previous state using Timeshift but it did not work so I ended up taking a live usb and backing up all my important documents to an external drive. I want to just do a fresh installation but unfortunally for me the boot drive is also the same drive I use to boot into Windows (which I am still able to boot into from GRUB). Is there a way I can reinstall the OS without affecting my ability to boot into Windows?
