I quite like Mint 21.1 Vera. Especially the mouse pointer was an agreeable surprise!
But I have a suggestion for its default logon and logoff sounds. Currently, those sounds in Vera are a bit disagreeable to me.
Their pitch is a little too high for me; I find them too "penetrating". It would be nicer to my ears if their pitch would be lowered somewhat.

Linux Mint 21.1 Beta feedback can be given on the blog post announcing it. It has not yet been announced.

Pjotr, you may be able to edit the system sounds to suit your personal requirements. Locate the sounds files and edit them with audacity, where the pitch for example can be changed. You could even make your own sound files. Not sure where the files are in Mint 21 but in Mint 20 they are to be found in usr/share/sounds and .local/share/sounds. If you do so, I recommend that you rename the existing sound files and edit copies rather than the original, making it easy to revert to original.

Yes, thanks, but I was already familiar with that.... I'd like better defaults. Better in my eyes, or rather ears.meToo wrote: ⤴Wed Dec 07, 2022 10:54 am Pjotr, you may be able to edit the system sounds to suit your personal requirements.

True, that's why I specifically avoided generalization in my qualification....
