Since the latest update to Mint, I've been running into a couple of quirks. First, I can't drag and drop my files anymore, which is super frustrating. Second, the zoom function with Ctrl and the mouse wheel isn't working as it should—now, I can only use it if I press Ctrl after performing another action. For instance, normally, I could just zoom with Ctrl and the mouse wheel, but now I have to do something like press Ctrl+S first to make it work. This also seems to affect apps like GIMP and Inkscape. Also, if it helps, does anyone have a good resource on how to install AMD drivers on Linux? I've written about it before, but any guidance would be really appreciated!

Check out this resources page you might find handy. It has loads of info that could help you out! And don't forget to back up regularly and experiment in a virtual machine before trying new commands!
You shouldn't have to install AMD drivers separately; they come with the Linux kernel. As for the keyboard issues, have you tried a different keyboard just to rule out a hardware problem? Sometimes it can be something as simple as a stuck key.
It sounds like the issues you're experiencing could be due to Wayland. You might want to check if you're running a Wayland session. You can do this by typing `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE` in the terminal. If it returns 'wayland', that could definitely explain the drag-and-drop and zoom issues. Cinnamon's support for Wayland is still kind of experimental, so logging out and switching to the regular 'Cinnamon (X11)' session might fix everything. Regarding the AMD drivers, Linux Mint usually handles that automatically, so you shouldn't need to install anything manually.
