From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The update manager in Linux Mint updated libllvm15 and now Brave is completely unusable for me. Is it possible to fix this without using a system backup? (sopuli.xyz)

Brave is my primary web browser but every page I visit isn't being rendered correctly at all and some pages are completely broken. I have a system backup from a few days ago but I'd prefer not to have to use it if I can. I think Brave is the only thing that was affected but I think I should try to revert the update if it's possible.

Semi-random guess: try turning off hardware video acceleration in Brave (assuming it has an option for that—I've never actually used it).

(The chain of logic here: mesa uses llvm for some kind of realtime . . . something . . . if you have an AMD graphics card. Not clear on the details, but it's the only reason I have llvm installed. And the symptoms seem consistent with video accel breakage.)

Actually, I do have an AMD GPU and I did try that and it worked but I made the mistake of re-enabling it and now the settings page just looks like this:

Is there a way to change that setting through the terminal?
