SDHC card support on Linux Mint with Broadcom card reader

Hi, so I recently downloaded Linux Mint Cinnamon on my older notebook. It's the Acer Aspire E1-531. But I have upgraded it to be 8GB of DDR3 RAM and a 256GB SSD. I am running Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64. And the SDHC card I am trying to use it a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB.

The card reader is the Broadcom Corporation BCM57765/57785 SDXC/MMC Card Reader.

When inserted, the SD card is simply not detected on the laptop. It's not NTFS and it works perfectly fine on my Windows PC.

I have tried this solution: https://gist.github.com/samgooi4189/2e6e18fd1d562acaf39246e5e386d7cb?permalink_comment_id=2941679

It seems to have done something. The card still doesn't get detected, even after a reboot. BUT, when I have the card inserted and reboot while it is inserted.. then I just get a weird error or something, I suppose it is something. But There is just a black screen that keeps spamming this text every few seconds:

[  348.101486] mmc0: Timeout Waiting for hardware cmd interrupt.

Once I take out the SD card, the notebook boots into the OS as usual.

PLEASE, does anyone have any help? I tried to fix it with AI. I tried to fix it with old forums posts. Nothing works. I want Linux to work. I got the most consumer friendly simple distro. I had to swap the Network card in this laptop from Broadcom to Intel for internet to work. I suppose this last paragraph is pointless. But I have to just put my frustration somewhere. I consider myself a patient person, but Linux feels miserable to use so far, I have not even got it to a working state where I can actually do the stuff I do on my Windows PC. I'm still trying, I will try whatever anyone recommends here, hopefully it works.

What is Nintendo Switch Online membership useful for?

Hello, I have a simple question.

Does ANY multiplayer on any of the Switch family consoles NEED the subscription to work (as in, play online, with other players)?

I have experience only with Pokémon games on the Switch Lite and the base games are accessible without it, however multiplayer not.

But if you have a game like Street Fighter 6, which is basically purely multiplayer. Do you need the membership to even make it playable? Or is the subscription and its feature only meant for games made by or partnered with Nintendo?

I have tried to research this, but on the official FAQ and store, it just say "Nintendo Switch Online features supported" on Street Fighter 6, which I have no clue what it means. If the ability to even play the game is considered just a feature by Nintendo, I don't know, but it's possible.

My question is just about the multiplayer features, I think there are some gimmicks that come with the membership, like playing older Nintendo titles, or some stickers and profile icons in the Nintendo store, but I do not care about that.
