I just set up Ubuntu 24 LTS alongside my Windows installation, and I'm encountering a couple of issues. First, my 3.5 mm headphone jack is showing up only for the microphone and not for audio output. Second, I'd like to use my mobile phone camera as an external webcam.
Additionally, since I've been a Windows user for about a decade, I could use some guidance on the essential commands to remember when using Ubuntu, like how to install or uninstall software. I'd also appreciate any app recommendations that could improve my Linux experience!

To get you started with managing packages, here are some key commands you should know:
- To install software, use `sudo apt install package_name`. Just replace `package_name` with the name of the software you want to install.
- To remove software, the command is `sudo apt remove package_name`.
- If you want to search for packages, type `apt search package_name`.
- For updating your package list, run `sudo apt update`, and to upgrade installed packages to their latest versions, use `sudo apt upgrade`. That should cover the basics!
For app recommendations, consider installing:
- **GIMP** for image editing.
- **VLC** for media playback.
- **VS Code** for coding and development.
- **Kdenlive** for video editing.
These applications should enhance your overall Linux experience and make things more user-friendly!
Regarding your headphone jack issue, it might be related to the audio settings in Ubuntu. Check the sound settings under 'Output' and ensure that your headphones are selected as the output device.
As for using your mobile as a webcam, you can use apps like DroidCam or IP Webcam to connect your phone to your computer.
