Mars will work on Ubuntu and its derivatives when Hell freezes over. I don't think anyone even looks a the Issues log.

Sound has never worked on Linux. You used to be able to get it to work by copying files from a Squeak installation, but that's in the past now as far as I know.
There's an article here on how to get sound working on Linux - https://thepharo.dev/2020/11/17/how-to-play-sound-in-pharo/
It didn't work for me - I wasn't surprised.
Can you let us know what is the problem? If you do not report it how can we do something?

Exteban is working daily on a linux machine now the problem is that there is no such a thing as a linux machine.

So Pablo and guille are working on making that the VM can take what is present making that we can deploy one VM as full standalone and this for a lot of different flavor.
