for syncing the clock can just use this

sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true

ok I fixed the clock. had to set the system to use localtime.

also fixed sound. pulseaudio was defaulting to the wrong sound device. I had to edit a configuration file to change it. linux.

also I was presented with a selection of font sets when I installed X or whatever and I think I picked the wrong one.

op, you should just install windows 10 and put it on the slow ring for wsl2. it'll be much more pleasant to use and there will be working drivers for everything.

this is true but it does play sound and nobody has to know what a sound mixer daemon is and how to manage it.

Every time I boot Windows it has completely forgotten how I configured my audio devices and tries to play audio via the monitor port of my microphone, while resetting my microphone volume so nobody can hear me until I go three levels deep through menus in two different window styles until I find the volume slider and turn it back to 100.

otoh you are also a person who thinks such a thing as a "knockoff gentoo" could exist. like making knockoff adidos or so.

no he's right, sound sucks on windows.

the only reason people poo poo on linux and sound so much is because they have a collective memory on how ubuntu prematurely introduced pulseaudio for everyone before anything was ready for it.
