No DFU capable USB device available - Arduino Nano ESP32

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Yet another "No DFU" error.

My system is a Linux Mint 21.3
The compiler is: 2.3.4
I am using an authentic Arduino Nano ESP32

I have reviewed so many other forum posts and none of the solutions have worked.
This Nano ESP32 has never worked on either IDE 2.3.4 or the Legacy IDE.
I need a clear solution to this problem. please!

(Just to be snarky... Since the Arduino product is dead in the water I am using an Adafruit ESP32 Huzzah32 Feather and it works perfectly! Guess which is going to production?)

I haven't given up yet on the Nano ESP32 but I am close.

Oh, and one more thing. I used the Sketch>Upload using programmer and this is the error I received. So the Arduino IDE does not know I am using an authentic Nano ESP32?
