I'm running 23.10 and just noticed that if I right click a folder, file, or shortcut from file browser and select properties the icon looks like static. How do I fix these broken icons?

The issues I had were with the drivers from the oibaf PPA. Here's how I fixed it:

  1. Revert to stable drivers

Using the command suggested by the PPA maintainer sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers didn't work, nor did attempting to specify my distro with sudo ppa-purge -d mantic ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers. I had to follow the instructions from https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=381601 which are (more or less) as follows:

sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo dpkg -P --force-depends libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm-common libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libegl-mesa0 libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri libglapi-mesa libglx-mesa0 libxatracker2 mesa-va-drivers mesa-vdpau-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean

And reboot your computer.

  1. If you are using Steam you will need to reinstall it.
sudo apt remove steam-launcher steam-libs-amd64

Download the Steam installer from steampowered.com to your ~/Downloads folder (if you don't already have it) then:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb

Then run steam to install as normal. Do not install Steam from Snap or App Center as it doesn't work right. You need to install the Steam .deb package downloaded from steampowered.com
