The audio hardware in the PC generally isn't involved at all with bluetooth devices

So if both outputs sound equally crappy, it souldn't be the problem of a specific output device.

In contrary to the first sentence (but anyway):
USB-audio-sticks are cheap and the linux-kernel has a universal driver buiild in. Can be worth a try.

Dell offers Ubuntu for some notebooks; maybe for testing purposes ... .

I thought that pipewire was the new requirement for Plasma?

Just my 2 cents here: I run happily Devuan 5 with KDE Plasma with pure ALSA. I had to tailor /etc/modprobe/alsa.conf to convince Plasma to use my prefered sound output. YMMV.

VLC can be handy to troubleshoot, because in it you can change sound output on the fly.

It also has turnstile installed for user services (see man suss) and pipewire set up as a user service. It also has a few wireless firmware packages installed from the firmware-nonfree repo.

https://get.refracta.org/files/experime … 7_1411.iso

There's a short README in the user's home. Read it.

If you need to log in:
Login: user       Password: user
Login: root       Password: root

The default desktop is lxqt. To get to xfce in the live iso is tricky.
Drop to console, stop lightdm, comment out the autologin lines in lightdm.conf, start lightdm, click on the white dot in the login panel to select the session. Choices are lxqt, xfce or openbox. They all work from here.

If you drop to console, stop lightdm and then run startxfce4, you end up with no inputs. If you use startlxqt or startx /usr/bin/openbox-session in console, you do get inputs. I don't know why it's like that.

uname -r
apt policy linux-image-amd64

And look in /lib/modules to see if that directory exists.

Wild guess: you upgraded to daedalus but didn't upgrade the kernel because the kernel metapackage is not installed. (linux-image-amd64)  That package pulls in the latest kernel for the release you're running.

Or you booted into an older kernel by mistake.

It is intended for Openbox, Fluxbox etc., not DE's that have their own wallpaper setters. Like all things I imagine there might be some way of hacking it in but that's beyond the scope of this project.

Just for giggles I tried it on Mate last night and yeah it installed fine and worked great up until I hit that Apply button...it was a hoot, it actually tried to apply the paper but only like a quarter of it laid over the previous wallpaper.

Then would be a bit better using older kernel versions (I saw changelog and it seems staying on 6.19 works I guess), and I'm also waiting for nvidia to update with backports for their drivers on Debian repos... I hope it's soon... the usual pain with nvidia

Agree!
I will try this trick at Stable Devuan
