Hi there,
Solus version: latest as of today.
Arduino IDE: 1.8.11 installed via the official graphical software installer.
Compiling an empty project I receive :
Arduino: 1.8.11 (Linux), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

There is a similar issue on this forum : "Can't compile code in Arduino IDE" however is for Arduino IDE 1.8.10.
Also, I can't find the "Boardmanager" was claimed to help updating it.
Any idea how to go about solving this?
Thanks.
