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.

In the case of Firefox profiles maybe I can actually provide some useful info this time.

"firefox -ProfileManager" brings up the GUI profile manager and "firefox -P [profile name]" boots a particular profile.

Anyway, good luck.

That works, I can't seem to get it to work quite like how I had it on Windows but manually launching a second instance with the other profile from the first instance is fine. If you must know why I'm doing it like this, I use one profile that doesn't have any extension installed and another that does.
