Hello,
Please know, I know nothing about coding in any Linux language. I got fed up with Microsoft and vowed never to use any product of theirs again. My computer repair guy said I should try Linux, and I love the window based version and have done OK with it for a couple of years. I even managed to update my OS a couple of months ago, and I was (perhaps naively) proud I did it by watching a Youtube video and without help. BUT--I have had problems with accessing my camera ever since. I even sold my soul to the devil and installed Google Chrome (instead of using Firefox), as everyone said that would fix the problem. Nope. But I will say this. Sometimes my camera works for a few seconds to a few minutes. Other times I cannot find it, even when doing searches in the Menu, or trying to get Zoom to search for it. I even installed the Cheese app, because some website said that might fix my issue and Cheese cannot detect a camera. The inconsistency is what really does not make sense to me considering computers should use consistent logic or processes, right? I use Zoom for weekly therapy meetings and that is where it's most inconsistent, and I think my therapist is getting frustrated with my constant problems.
I greatly appreciate anyone's willingness to help, but please know I don't know the first thing about using the terminal, other than I can bring it up, and I probably know just enough to be dangerous ; ). So I guess anyone willing to help would have to speak to me regarding terminal language like I am a three year old or an alien. Whichever context pleases you most. Ha ha. Thanks!.
