And these were times when I needed community help, most of the time I could get it working by pairing again or some such nonsense. It never worked reliably, in general.
Note I switched to Windows as my daily driver in 2018 January.
It seems sound is still a gigantic mess of PulseAudio and ALSA https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio
- dman 7y agoIf you things to just keep on working Arch might not be the distro for you. Have you tried something like ubuntu?
- pjmlp 7y agoCanonical broke wlan and OpenGL for many of us when they decided to replace fully working closed source drivers, with work in progress open source replacements. So even Ubuntu isn't necessarily a guarantee of stability.
- dman 7y agoSigh - I hear you.
- chx 7y agoYes. Yes, I did. At least with Arch I could keep on working because only one of BT / printer / scanner broke on update, most of the production bits kept working. When I ran Ubuntu the system shattered every six months so badly I couldn't work for 2-3 days.
- tsar9x 7y agoI have fairly linux friendly laptop (Thinkpad T480) with Fedora, and GPU driver was broken for whole 5.3 kernel tree...
- heeen 7y agoI have a T480 as well and both the nvidia (closed source) and intel drivers work for me on Kubuntu.
- ubercow13 7y agoMost of that wiki page isn't important, Pulse largely just works these days without much or any configuration
