Also, New Features in Linux Mint 22 'Wilma'

Important information and instructions for various configurations and troubleshooting: Linux Mint 22 'Wilma' - Release Notes

Lighting is key. 💡

I'm all for it.

Yes, Hardware Acceleration was going to be my next suggestion as well.

Ok, I wasn’t sure if you were using the Firefox Sync features or if you were restoring any of your backed up files pre/post reinstallation, which is why I brought it up again.

Back in the Fall of 2023, I was trying some things to mitigate the infamous YouTube ad-blocker restrictions. Prior to that, I had been using the "Enhancer for YouTube" extension, but later disabled it via "uBlock Origin's" recommended workaround for the ad-blocker restrictions.

I was also testing some things with "NoScript", but found it caused some websites to not load. It's now disabled as well.

Luckily, "uBlock Origin" seems to have solved the problem in an update I received in December, I think.

If you've been doing anything like what I just described, try disabling or uninstalling every extension except "uBlock Origin" and make sure you have the latest version. If that doesn't work, try restoring default settings or disabling/uninstalling uBlock Origin and go from there.

Otherwise, I suspect you might have a bad cache, but it wouldn't hurt to go through this list from top to bottom just to be sure you don't miss something. The article is from 2021, so if the details don't align with your current version of Firefox, etc, just look up how to do the same thing it recommends, only with updated instructions. https://techwiser.com/fix-youtube-not-working-firefox/

Here are my installation recommendations:

After installing DE:R via the Steam client, upon running the game, you'll be prompted with the Deus Ex: Revision First-Time Configuration:

Try these options:

• Direct3D 9 Support
• Galaxy 3D Audio for Deus Ex

If you hear any excessive/persistent in-game popping/crackling in the audio, see the instructions below for how to bring the Deus Ex: Revision First-Time Configuration back and then try the alternative audio system.

• Open AL audio system for Deus Ex

---

Audio Troubleshooting

1. Make sure the Deus Ex: Revision is not running.

2. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\steamapps\common\Deus Ex\Revision\System

3. Delete Revision.ini

4. Run the game and choose the following during the Deus Ex: Revision First-Time Configuration a. Direct3D 9 b. Galaxy 3D Audio for Deus Ex

5. Run the game and test it.

If that doesn't work, repeat steps 1-4 and choose Open AL audio system for Deus Ex

If it's still having the same problem, repeat steps 1-4 again and go back to the Galaxy 3D Audio for Deus Ex audio subsystem.

We'll move on to in-game troubleshooting.

1. Run the game and go to Settings > Sound and select Restore Defaults

2. Test the game.

3. If the problem persists, go back to Settings > Sound > Effects Channels a. The default is 22. Try lowering it to 16.

4. Test the game again. Hopefully, it's working for you now.

And now, on to the nitty gritty:

After a while of searching bodies and things, you're going to get sick of your character auto-picking up unwanted items. Use Settings > Controls > Item Refusal to reject those unwanted items from your inventory.

Here are some more recommendations for how I configured the game in a way that enhances it without over-updating or replacing its original artistic soul. Just copy the settings as I have them in the screenshots (some exceptions apply).

Settings > Game Options

Settings > HDTP Options

You can leave all the rest of the HDTP models on the subsequent pages as True.

Settings > Display

Of course, choose whichever resolution and brightness settings are right for you.

Settings > Colors

Note: This gets kind of nit-picky, but here you go anyway.

Settings > Sound

Settings > Revision

Note: Choose the Handedness and Inverted Spydrone View settings that are right for you.

Settings > Revision > Next Page

Any static red or yellow patterns will cause significant burn in. I have Netflix and YouTube logos as well as their progress bars burned into my 2018 LG from their “smart” TV apps. It took a couple of years to be noticeable, but once it’s there, you always see it.

Picture this: You're a little hungrier than usual. You order four Taco Supremes and one Nachos BellGrande. No combo. No drink. Just main course stuff. This is what you can expect to pay in my neck of the woods, Southern California. And mind you, these portion sizes have been reduced by as much as 40% since 2020. It's not at all unfeasible to understand how one could easily blow $28 feeding one individual after a particularly taxing day.

Let’s say I’m feeling a little more famished than usual, and mind you, these portion sizes are reduced by about 60% on average from what they were prior to 2020. Anyway, I’ve been known to order something like this:

All valid points, but Trump probably hates them more now than he liked them then. Also, I put DNC as a sort of umbrella listing for Trump’s political rivals with the best chances of beating him and his republican cronies in future elections; something American democracy can’t afford to lose.

Downvoting because of the paywall. The (perhaps misleading) headline makes it seem like thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing Ukraine to avoid dying for Ukraine’s sovereignty, but this could just as easily be about Russians fleeing Russia to avoid a dying for the Russian elites’ agenda.

He’s hoping for that VP spot on the Trump campaign since DeSantis wouldn’t say anything against the orange tyrant. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
