Man I like Linux, but I find it to much of a hassle for me. Whenever something is broken it can be such a pain to fix.
I still haven’t found a fix for my sound. My laptop (Dell XPS 15 9500) has normal speakers and separate subwoofers, but the driver doesn’t know it so it only uses the normal speakers. So my audio is so shit compared to windows, no bass at all. The fix I found for the 9510 doesn’t work for mine. It sucks, because that is a deal breaker for me.
Hmm i on the other hand found it easier to fix shit on Linux since usualy somoene Will give you a line to copy and paste into cmd whereas on windows there is a ton of very cryptic menus to navigate through.
But then again everything is made for Windows by deafult so sometimes there are issues like your where stuff dosent work beacuse someone forgot Linux exist.
And the system usually at least tells you what’s wrong, as opposed to all the other systems that just send you off with a cryptic hex “fuck you” code or just “something went wrong” (because that’s more user friendly, don’t you know?).
Thats not always true. If i remember correctly i had a problem updating something through pop shop and thats exatcly what i got.
Updating through Cmd on the other hand showed me what the problem was(Which is what i do exclusivly right now) .
I’ve been using Linux for almost 30 years and I still don’t use it as my desktop. There are just too many little things that don’t work or are a hassle day to day. It’s great for messing around but unless you’re spending all of your time in a web browser or a command line, it’s just not worth it when I have real work to do. It’s been about 5 years since I tried a desktop version so maybe it warrants another look. But, I doubt it. Desktop is just not a priority for open source.
On the other hand, when it comes to servers Linux is always my number 1 choice. I run several relatively high demand services with up times measured in months and sometimes years.

If it’s not broken or connected to the Internet, don’t fix it.
Have you tried running “pavucontrol” and changing the outputs?
