New Linuxer here. It is a learning curve. Getting a grip of it and learning to love the terminal. It wasn't such a shock for me to use the terminal, I had to troubleshoot Windoze in cmd and powershell before when I said to myself: well, I can as well switch to Linux if I have to do this to keep my machine working. Less bloatware, less use of CPU and energy I pay for, and with looming AI and constant surveillance, along endless threat of malware, I can as well go free. Still having Windoze on a usb as an OS for some applications like Teams, but hey, Linux also gave me my old Vista laptop back! New hard disk, new RAM, new hinge replacing a broken one, cleaned inside and thermal paste reapplied... it is now whispering quietly while running 64bit xfce. My all 3 machines will be primarily Linux, one LMDE (maybe both remaining ones) plus Ubuntu 22.04 on a usb, for SGD access, if Windoze was making fuss.
Just one problem I have with xfce: how do you improve sound quality? I increased the volume, following online guidance, sudo update and upgrade, but the sound is still flat and unpleasant. It is an old 1.6 ghz processor, asus f5rl series. I checked a few forums but somehow I cannot figure it out. Anyone has a tested and working solution, please?
