Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

Recently I’ve been disappointed that my speakers keep switching which one is left and which is right, and I’ve been too lazy to figure out why. I don’t regret dropping windows at all, though.

That's weird. What kind of speakers do you have? Ye Olde Fashioned analog speakers tend to be hardwired for left and right. Of course, you can flip that in software, but unless you've touched that setting it should just work.

ORA by Kanto speakers using USB. I think maybe they swap when I alt tab out of a game then back in?

Hmm, I don't have any experience with USB speakers. I wonder if it's using a standard driver or a custom one.
