I am looking for the boolean modifier in 5.1.2 and it just doesn't exist. Where might it be and/or what is a possible replacement?
Ah, I see, this is from Press Start, that was recorded with 3.0.
Things are organized into submenus now, instead of one big list with 'categories'. This is one of the reasons we always recommend following along with the same Blender Version. It's counterinuitive, but you'll not only learn Modeling &Co. faster, you'll even Blender faster, when switching between different Versions.
