Am I do something wrong or it is a quirk of the program? this doesn't sound anything like alternate picking guitar:

Last save with MuseScore 3.2.3, ypou should really update to 3.6.2

3.6.2 is not in the Debian repositories, I might use a newer appimage if there is available for Linux

AppImage for 3.6.2 certainly is available, from the download page of this site, musescore.org

What about the playback don't you like/expect?
In reply to What about the sound don#t… by Jojo-Schmitz
It doesn't sound close to the real thing played with the guitar so i doubt if it's written correctly or not. It doesn't sound like alternate picking it's like played one way picking

Sorry, I don't get it.

The nuanced sound of alternate down/up picking is best left to a human performer, playing a real guitar with a real pick on real strings as compared to a score playback synthesizer which sounds only as good as the soundfont(s) it uses.
Having said that...
You might find some exotic soundfont which contains samples of down/up strokes, but you'll have to inform the playback synthesizer which "stroke" to use on any given note.
See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/soundfonts-and-sfz-files
However...
You can use velocity settings (accessed in the Inspector) to mimic a 'faux' alternate picking where up strokes are set to a lower velocity.

Thank you very much for the edit, it does sound better but still not what I play with the guitar, maybe because it has no correct values for the notes

This is so normal.
e.g.: I play the piano, the playback on the computer of the score I wrote in any note writing software has nothing to do with the piano I play myself. Because the computer doesn't knows neither keystrokes and velocities, nor my timing.
The guitar is more nuanced than the piano in terms of playing style. The sound changes depending on where you play the string (near the threshold, sound hole or neck), whether you play it with a pick, finger or fingernail, and your picking strength and direction (up or down).
Because while you play the guitar, you use many hand and finger skills that you have acquired, whereas the computer plays the notes in a robotic and mechanical way.
Maybe in the future it will be possible to virtualize it (by adding many hidden nuances/playback parameters in addition to velocity).

In what way does it not sound right? Can you post a link to a video of what you are expecting? What do you mean by, "no correct values for the notes"?
Have you loaded a soundfont which sounds like your required guitar playback and has the different variations of picking styles that you need, and then applied this font to the individual notes, taking care to apply volume changes too?
As has been said already, these things are probably best left to the human performer unless you are willing to spend a lot of time 'humanzing' your score playback. I spent hours doing this to one particular score and it's debateable as to whether it was worth the effort.
ZMD (above) is so right about all the nuances that could apply.

For that to happen you should use a microphone and some recording software to produce an audio file of your actual performance. This way, when played back, it will also sound exactly like the make and model of the guitar you use.

There is a very informative thread showing the effort that goes into creating a guitar soundfont.
It's an interesting and educational read:

Very interesting - and no simple matter.
