In addition, the sound punked out on me a few months back for some inexplicable reason. The system is dual-boot with Windows 10, and the sound doesn’t work on the Windows side, either, so it’s evidently a hardware issue. I put on external speakers and soldiered on for a while, but the end was clearly approaching. Then, my main Windows laptop’s hard drive started to fail. Since I was going to need to buy a new hard drive for it, I decided to buy two and install one to my spare parts T4215 (which had no drive). This was obviously a good time to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu, and since version 20.04 LTS just dropped recently, so much the better. | In addition, the sound punked out on me a few months back for some inexplicable reason.
