As a fan of HR and MD, I have the original purchased on GOG, but I've never played it. Are there any quality of life mods I should know before I drive in?
I haven't played it properly either. But there's a community mod called Deus Ex Revision (It's also on Steam). Which improves some of the graphics, and looks to include a bunch of QoL features.

For HR, I think you’re good to go the way that it is. Hopefully you have the Director’s Cut - they removed the awful yellow filter that the game originally launched with.
I know the topic isn't about HR, but as a huge fan of that game, I recently replayed the non-DC version and found myself really appreciating the yellow tint. It ties the aesthetic together, and the DC always looked a bit flat and unfinished without it. But that's just me.
