New speakers, new PC audio with my old laptop

I ordered a pair of speaker units and enclosures craft kit.

Hoping to arrange hi-res audio playback environment, I installed Linux on my old laptop. I'm going to purchase and connect USB-DAC to it.

In the laptop Ubuntu had been already installed, but it was too heavy on it, so I got rid of it and installed CentOS.

Wireless internet connection was unstable even after I shut down IPv6 configurations, and I haven't established MP3 playback environments (it look like GStreamer is the key, but I haven't found the right path for my environment). I also could want test web server settings to get more familiar with web servers apart from XAMPP.

I'm going to use this old laptop as sub PC, music player, and test web server for the time being, however I plan to get a new, low-cost, low-energy-consumption, and low-heat (power is lower priority) in a year if I get along with the Linux PC.

Working on an operating thing make me forget about time passing, so I want to be careful more about mental and physical health, managing durations in front of my main and sub PC.

Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
