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.

I don't know if I didn't install non free firmware. Pavucontrol is installed. If I type alsa on a terminal it returns: bash: alsa: command not found.

ETA: turns out I only had to update the system

Fam, with all due respect, reconsider how you go about interacting with the community for support.

We love to help, so don't get me wrong. But you have to allow us to help you. Paramount with this is communication; so consider responding to questions asked by those who reach out to help.

Like, I'm not exaggerating when I say that your issues would have already been resolved if you had been (more) responsive.
