Linux Mint Forums

I installed an Intel AX210 in a 10-year old laptop and it works flawlessly; drivers pre-installed in kernel.

That's the reason I replace all wifi cards with Intel cards; smooth sailing.

If a laptop has a DVD drive, I usually remove it and install a HDD/SSD caddy with a 1-2TB SSD for additional space.
If I need a DVD drive, I purchase a USB external DVD drive, which can be plugged into any PC for use.

I always use Crucial, WesternDigital & Intel SSDs (whatever variety), with a 5-year warranty.
I also use several 2TB NVME 2280 M.2 SSDs inside USB enclosures for backup. Better safe than sorry.
Good luck.

Maybe try Bluefish in Software Manager.

Your problem is just another reason why I remove all Broadcom & Qualcomm/Atheros wifi cards and install Intel wifi cards, which usually have the drivers installed in the kernel.

I had this problem in the past, and found that if I take ownership of the files, I can then copy them to wherever I wish. Check file ownership in your home folder: find $HOME ! -user $USER If that command produces NO output, the files are owned by USER. If that command produces output, run this comm...

VLC Media Player works great.

I was running LMDE5 for the past several years on my 10-year old Sony Vaio with the Nvidia GeForce 410M (GF119) discreet video card. Smooth sailing. 2 weeks ago I upgraded to LMDE6 & no Nvidia effects whatsoever, as the pc was using the default LMDE6 video drivers. I got tired of messin' around ...

This morning I updated the mesa drivers via Update Manager, and after reboot, ALL web pages, regardless of browser, are "messed up". These are the mesa updates that trashed the browsers: mesa-va-drivers_22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2_amd64.deb mesa-vdpau-drivers_22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2_amd64...

I have it happening to my Brave Browser. Is there a way to undo the mesa drivers if you have not done a recent Timeshift? My last one is a couple months old, and I need to keep some of the recent changes. The mesa drivers (.debs) are located in /var/cache/apt/archives I use Aptik to back ALL .debs ...
