how to connect to a com port

I am trying to program an Arduino ESP32 and the program asks for a com port. But only a Bluetooth connection appears. Is there a com port function imilar o that on Windoze?

So the ESP32 is not recognized in the same manner as my screenshot examples... only those "unknowns" are shown? That's kind of a show-stopper.


It should be as simple as I wrote. Perhaps that's a consequence of newer IDE versions that presumably incorporate the required hardware drivers; I don't know.


I think the Arduino Community Forum would be the place to seek assistance, but before posting a new question have a look at this Arduino Support document: If your board does not appear on a port in Arduino IDE. That seems to describe what you're encountering perfectly.
