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.

Fuck Bluetooth. I've seen it multiple times this week that wireless headphones have failed on Linux, Mac, and Windows. "Shit, let me reconnect my headphones". Also the switching from "high quality audio" to bullshit mono audio when calling.
Fuck bluetooth.
Pipewire and debian stable here
BT audio works like 99% of the time. Then there's that 1% it just stops working for no apparent reason and you spend an hour googling why without finding any answers. And in the end, unpairing, forgetting the device and the re-adding it fixes the problem in 2 mins
Overall very happy once i remember the quick fix
Bluetooth works great. Debian w/ XFCE (pulseaudio). But, there is some config on a fresh install:
# apt install blueman pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
# nano /etc/pulse/default.pa
add:
load-module module-switch-on-connect
# nano /etc/bluetooth/input.conf
change:
IdleTimeout=0
Bluetooth kind of sucks ass
Bluetooth sucks on all platforms. It may be worse on Linux, but given how often my coworkers on Mac and Windows have audio issues it meetings, not by much.
Get a good set of RF wireless headphones and only use Bluetooth when you're traveling.
Pretty good. I use Nothing ear 2s with a lenovo thinkpad on arch linux and it works just as well as with my ipad and my android smartphone.
Only bad thing, it set the codec to a worse sounding one once for some reason, but changing it back solved it.
This usually happens when you use the earphones' microphone. It lowers the audio quality to be able to send the microphone's data.
exactly. I disabled mono profile in bluez config and I could recomend that to everyone else as well
Wait, you can keep the audio quality while using the microphone?
