My Linux install does dumb shit (technical term) all the time, but I find it's a small price to pay for software that doesn't hate me.

Case in point: I just upgraded to the newish Xubuntu 23.04 the other day, and now my default sound output device changes (to the wrong one) every time I come out of sleep mode.

A small price to pay.

Kubuntu 23.04 kernel 6.4.11 here - works fine. The issue you describe may be XFCE specific.

"Works for me" is the anthem of all linux desktop users.

That maybe specific to that distribution and not Linux as a whole.
