mint Linux Startup Error

I'm getting an error message in my console when attempting to start the executable.

"error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

How would I go about fixing this? I'm on a fresh install using Kubuntu 25.04.

this is due to not having openssl-1.1 installed. I installed it through "yay -S openssl-1.1".

I for the life of me cannot find the repo for it. I am using Kubuntu, and am new to Linux. I found the Ubuntu mirror repo site but still could not find something that works.

I found a fix for anyone also in Kubuntu.

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.24_amd64.deb
sudo apt install plasma-session-x11

Then logout and in the bottom left choose X11. Install mods and patch them in then logout and log back into Wayland. Heads up when switching back the screen may be black. Just let it load and do not power off. Last step is to add -disablemodding to the launch options in steam

For Fedora users, here's an archive of the openssl1.1.1 RPM package: https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/36/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/o/openssl1.1-1.1.1n-1.fc36.x86_64.rpm Off topic, but this hasn't fixed the problem for me, the executable does run now but simply returns interface 'wl_surface' has no event 2. See #299
