From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sony WF-C510 connected on Linux, but never recognized as a headset (lemmy.wtf)

I've been fighting with my Sony WF-C510 for days.

I've tried it on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint. Same result every time: It connects successfully, but never shows up as an audio output device.

I even bought a USB Bluetooth dongle, thinking my laptop’s chipset was the problem... but nope. It still connects as a device, not a headset.

I’ve restarted Bluetooth services, switched from PulseAudio to PipeWire, and tried every "set-card-profile" trick from AI and forums, but nothing works.

Has anyone actually managed to get a Sony WF-C510 working properly on Linux?

It's clear this is purely Sony's fault for not caring about or supporting Linux drivers. Are they just ignoring the entire platform at this point?

Any workaround or success story would save my sanity.

Distros Tested: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 12-13, Mint 22 Issue: Connects, but no A2DP/HSP profile visible

When was that epic photo taken?

Linus Torvalds Gives Nvidia the Finger. Literally.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds isn't happy with Nvidia. And he wants you to know it.

Late last week, at a hacker meetup in Finland, Torvalds laid into Nvidia, calling it "the single worst company" the Linux developer community has ever dealt with, complaining that the chipmaker doesn't do as much as it could to ensure that its hardware plays nicely with his open source operating system. He even turned to the camera filming the event, flipped the company the proverbial bird, and dropped the proverbial F bomb.

Absolute fucking legend!

I liked how you did a research to your own question and share the results
