Hey, looks good! The sound panel (Menu - Sound & Video or simply type "sound") should let you choose and test your headset. Let us know how it goes!
Thanks, and in regards to the sound I think it might be a failure of the mic itself and not a software thing ( seems to not pick up audio on two different devices - tried on one before and now again on the new install seems to be the case - audio just picks up a popping sound and not voice at all) . I probably need to look at a cheap one-off microphone to get me by. 2 Browser stuff is a bit harsh with only 2Gb - need to look at maybe getting firefox lite or something lightweight, but I can get used to 1 tab at a time, can think of it as an opportunity to try work towards something more, but overall pretty impressed by what it is able to accomplish with the old tech.
I feel I have been converted away from microsoft and like what I am seeing with Linux systems so far. I will likely consider it for future systems if I am able to get something more capable later down the line
Oh I see. I personally haven't used any particularly lightweight browser, but maybe one of those would do the job: https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-web-browsers-linux/ Glad to hear you like it so far! Hope it all checks out.
Thank you for the link, I can definitely have a look at that to get better performance with limited resources
