In app shop linux mint as Electrum is only Electrum-GRS (org.groestlcoin.electrum-grs) is Your Electrum org or is scam?

Is it?  I have not tried that.

It seem reasonable to just use that Software manager Electrum-GRS. I think its real, they wouldn't be adding it to their list if its a scam.  I just searched in on the app shop too but I think I can rely to it and will download add the dependencies you need for this electrum to run.

Found their info here https://flathub.org/apps/org.groestlcoin.electrum-grs
This is not the official Electrum, and it isn't the Electrum version for Bitcoin, but rather for a coin called Groestlcoin.

Also, for Bitcoin wallets, I recommend downloading software wallets like Electrum only from its official website and verifying the gpg signatures. If you don't know what that is, check out the guide below:

Additionally, installing wallet software directly from the Linux app store can be risky. This has already happened in the Snap Store.
