- toast0 2y agoIMHO, bluetooth is definitely not a core system for a desktop/laptop. Experience has taught me the bluetooth rune is an ancient symbol that means probably might work. There's no reason I would purchase a bluetooth perhipheral when a wired equivalent is available. For a mobile phone, it's probably a core system; connecting to a car radio is an important use case. If wired android auto/car play includes hands free calling over usb, then that could be enough, and maybe bluetooth can be relegated to my history bin; but a lot of people like wireless earbuds. As for WPA3, I dunno? Afaik, I've never needed that either, but my wifi is a bit old.
- Cyberdog 2y agoFor people wanting to use BSD in desktop systems, they arguably are. For those like me who primarily use it in servers, they’re not.
- wkat4242 2y agoGood point. I use FreeBSD on a daily driver NUC and I have no need for neither WiFi not Bluetooth. But I know I'm an outlier. Support on that front could definitely use some improvement. I had to turn off Bluetooth in the bios because it made my box hang on startup. Never bothered to find out why because I don't need it anyway.
