I have now acquired more Information on what could be happening:
I didn't know about the log until now and now you shall witness: SSL Certificate Errors
Desktop Pop!_OS:

Laptop Windows 11:

So, those are the logs, do I need to install some certificate? or is the OpenSSL on the Laptop old?

I had a similar issue with a watered down version of Ubuntu. What worked for me was to install the SSL certificate manually from the server onto the client. I'll let you figure out how to do that from all the issues / help topics.

it's not a great user experience having to figure out this type of issues. I think that there should be a dialog explaining you that a SSL certificate is missing, that it needs to be copied to the client. There should be also an option in the GUI to disable SSL if you are already using SSH.

I have a feeling that there are very few developers maintaining this project left - if someone who had time and skills to do this see this message please let me know your price and I'd happily cover the cost of adding this.
