Seems like Mint 22.2 is not yet supported by the script, might need to wait for some time before Mint 22.2 support is added

Probably. My concern is that it has not been marked with an Assignee, or any response as to what the issue may be or how to rectify it. And the isdue has been known for no less than 3 weeks now.

Not being technically savvy enough, I do not know what to do, except for downgrading the OS from 22.2 to 22.1...

same issue here

Same here ... I suppose I will have to wait for Zero Tier to update the soft for Mint 22.2.Otherwise Mint has been awesome to work with.

I found that NetBird can replace ZeroTier. Also open source, same functionality, all platforms.

...and a responsive support for users

@lammel-hub thanks a bunch for netbird, seems like zerotier lost a "customer" here! Works flawlessly on linux and windows 10.

Edit: also works on my iphone 14 pro and windows server. Bye zerotier!

Had the same issue on Mint 22.2 but used the snap package as a workaround and it worked for me.

Keep in mind that from Linux Mint 20 onwards Snap is blocked so I had to unblock it.
