It's not like I need to re-download sha256sum.txt file, sha256sum.txt.gpg file, Balena Etcher, or GnuPG. The only thing I needed to download was linuxmint-22.3-xfce-64bit.iso from the World 'Linux Mint' mirror. Swap that out in the ISO folder, and we're good to go.
Step Two: Verify ISO.
It went a lot faster this time. I just needed to compare the correct string of numbers and letters in the text file (XFCE instead of Cinnamon).
