This tutorial will help you configure font replacements on LibreOffice. This means the computer will automatically replace a font in an opened document with an existing font on your Ubuntu system, for example, replacing Times New Roman with a very identical font like FreeSerif. This is useful for teachers and students in increasing document compatibility/readability for themselves. This is applicable for all application suites including Writer, Calc and Impress.

This article supplies you information to tinker with that with sources.list configuration and APT command. You will see best of this in an experiment-dedicated system if you have. Lastly, I practiced this on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa and you can practice this also on other versions. Enjoy tinkering!

Like yesterday I did it on KDE Plasma on Neon , now I also do it on GNOME 3 on Debian 10. If you have two speakers on left and right, it is very easy to adjust the volume independently by using built-in System Settings in the Sound section. Simply slide the Balance slider to left or right. For instance, I adjusted it to right (as my left one is currently broken) so I will listen to sound from the right speaker only. And vice versa. That's it.
